European Roller
Coracias garrulus
The European Roller adult male has predominantly turquoise-blue plumage, a warm chestnut-brown back, and pronounced contrasts between the pale body and darker portions of the wings. Blue wing coverts contrast with blackish flight feathers, while the breast is largely unmarked and the tail is blue. A pale turquoise head and throat frame a stout black bill, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding facial feathers.
