ROLLER (BLUE BELLIED ON LOOKOUT) Watercolours

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.
