Roller (Carraca / Coracias garrulus). |
A last minute trip to an area near Guadix allowed me to get the chance to get some shots of Roller (Carraca / Coracias garrulus) a fantastic bird which breeds in old dead tree stumps. Five birds were seen in the valley and this bird allowed me to approach in the car as it sat preening in a road side tree.
