The handsomely-proportioned Short-legged Ground-roller (Brachypteracias leptosomus) belongs to yet another of Madagascar’s endemic bird families, Brachypteraciidae. Patchily distributed in the rainforests of eastern Madagascar, it is a seldom-seen species owing to its habit of perching completely still and quiet for long periods of time in the lower canopy. They feed on large insects and other invertebrates. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
