Broad-billed Roller
Broad-billed Roller

perched on an island in the middle of the Kafue River, not far from another dead tree in which they had built their nest.
Taken from a small boat on the Kafue River in Kafue National Park, Zambia in November 2017

Broad-billed Rollers are more compact than the other African rollers.
They are intra-African breeding migrants that move to the south as from late October. They can be found in riverine forest and nearby savanna.
