Roller Derby: Best of the Bout
View allAll Photos Tagged roller
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.
The blue-bellied roller is a large bird, nearly the size of a jackdaw at 28-30 cm.

Broad-billed Rollers are more compact than the other African rollers.
They are intra-African breeding migrants that move to the south as from late October. They can be found in riverine forest and nearby savanna.

Die Strichelracke ist mit 40cm der größte Rackenvogel, aber nicht so farbig wie die anderen. Heimisch in den nördlich an Südafrika angrenzenden Ländern und im nördlichen Südafrika. Er ist resident, jedoch mit jahreszeitlichen Wanderungen.
At 40cm, the Purple Roller is the largest Roller, but not as colouful as the other. Local to the countries bordering South Africa to the north and to northern South Africa. It is resident, but with seasonal migrations.
Vehicles hustle across the Antioch Bridge spanning the San Joaquin River in morning traffic.
I was determined to find an unobstructed angle in which to feature the steep rise of this bridge. Entering an unlocked gate in the 2am hour, I made my way along this private section of Sherman Island. By the time I was ready to leave, the gate had been padlocked shut and I spent a few extra hours confined to this area until an unhappy property owner chided me for my trespassing ways. He then allowed me to exit.
