There are some wonderful shots of the Icklingham Roller on social media at the moment, which made me think about my own experiences of photographing these beautiful birds.
Camera time has been limited of late, so here's another one from the archives.

Wikipedia: The Indochinese roller (Coracias affinis) or Burmese roller, is a member of the roller bird family. It occurs widely from eastern India to Myanmar and Southeast Asia.
The Indochinese roller was formerly considered as a subspecies of the Indian roller because of a narrow hybrid zone in northeast India but a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018 found that the Indochinese roller was more closely related to the purple-winged roller (Coracias temminckii) than it is to the Indian roller. The Indochinese roller is monotypic: no subspecies are recognized.

A morning photoshoot in a professional hide in the Great Plains of Hungary.
I managed to take some cool shots of interesting and rarely seen species like the Eurasian roller (Coracias garrulus, szalakóta).

had another go at the roller as it is in my local patch and had a bit of a mare missing everything in the grass but these with a bee were quite nice

As we were driving along a country road we spotted this Roller on a derelict building, so it was another shot from my "mobile hide"! Again, it was on my wife's side of the car.......... We never seem to see them in a place where I can get out of the car and sneak up on them!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
