European Roller

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
Roller birds tend to have a vibrant and colourful plumage, often with several contrasting colours, which are best observed in flight. the name Roller comes from the aerial displays, acrobatics even, they perform during territorial disputes, mating rituals or catching their prey in mid-air. this roller was wet from the heavy rain and is a stark contrast to the flat grey sky. I was pleased that you can still get a sense of its bold colouring.
