European Roller, Hungary

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

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.

 

Shot with the long end of the DFA 150-450.

Lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) I try to avoid taking photos of this rather over photographed roller. But couldn't resist this!

The lilac-breasted roller is found in savanna and open woodland across sub-Saharan Africa. Seen here in Tarangire National Park.

It’s easily spotted as it likes to perch conspicuously on top of high vantage points like trees and poles, looking for prey on the ground such as insects, scorpions, snails, and rodents. During mating seasons the males fly high to engage in huge dives and swoops whilst making loud calls. [credit SafarisAfricana]

 

"Broad-Billed Roller" is a small, dark, rufous-cinnamon roller with a chunky yellow bill. It has a warm back and head, lilac foreneck and breast, with the rest of the plumage mainly brown. The broad bill is bright yellow. In flight it presents a striking plumage, with the brilliant blues of the wings and tail contrasting with the brown back. Lots of them are spotted near our house. Endemic to Africa

Saw this Roller perched in a tree as we were driving past. I pulled up by the side of the road but it was on the passenger side so I had to manoeuvre my camera past my wife and twist round into a position to take the shot. Lol.

It only posed long enough for this shot and then flew off!
