Värvilaik hallil taustal.
Hoolimata oma kaunist välimusest, ei toitu rohtla-siniraag teps mitte vikerkaartest ja laste naeratustest, vaid tegemist on pesuehtsa kiskjaga. Söögiks lähevad kõik elukad, mis talle massilt alla jäävad - putukad, teod, kahepaiksed, närilised ja teised linnud. Täiesti juhuslikult on pool selle ladina keelsest liiginimest (caudatus) sama, mis eilsel pildil olnud sabatihasel ning see tähendabki saba. Krugeri rahvuspark, LAV.

Despite its beautiful looks, Lilac-breasted Roller does not feed on the rainbows and the smiles of the children but it is a straightforward predator. It eats everything moving that is smaller than the bird itself - insects, lizards, snails, amphibians, rodents and other birds. By coincidence half of the latin name (caudatus) is the same as the long-tailed tit that was on yesterday's photo. Caudatus means tail. Kruger National Park, South Africa.
