EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic European roller (Coracias garrulus) in all its glory. With its vibrant plumage and striking appearance, this migrant bird is truly a sight to behold. As the only member of the roller bird family to breed in Europe, it holds a special place in the continent's avian diversity. The European roller can be found not only across Europe but also in regions like the Middle East, Central Asia, and Morocco. During winters, it embarks on an incredible journey to southern Africa. In this particular shot taken in Hungary, we witness the bird gracefully landing on a branch with its wings open wide. Known for its keen hunting skills, this species often perches conspicuously atop trees to spot potential prey such as insects and lizards. However, it has been observed taking small birds, frogs, and even mammals as well. Its biological adaptability makes it a fascinating subject for ornithologists and zoologists alike. Photographed by DR P. MARAZZI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this image beautifully captures both the natural beauty of Hungary's fauna and the intricate details of this remarkable creature's biology. It serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse wildlife and highlights how vital conservation efforts are to protect these magnificent species for future generations to admire.
