Description

An original watercolour picture in portrait format, on Archers 140lbs watercolour paper.
A very eye-catching bird, with contrasting white head, neck and chest, with a ultramarine blue belly.
Such a colour combination in the Afro tropics, would normally mean a very short life.
However, rollers get away with conspicuous colours, as they are agressive and more than capable of looking after themselves.
A common trait is to sit on a branch or fence where they can command a good view of the area. Prey items include locusts, scorpions, spiders, lizards, cameleons, snakes and even other birds. Basically, anything it can over power and fly away with.
Purchases are securely packaged and posted Royal Mail, First Class, Recorded Delivery.
This accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
