EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning European roller (Coracias garrulus) perched gracefully on a branch. As the only member of its bird family to breed in Europe, this migrant species is truly unique. However, it can also be found in various regions such as the Middle East, Central Asia, Morocco, and during winters, it migrates all the way to southern Africa. Known for its vibrant plumage and distinctive beak open wide in this shot, the European roller often chooses prominent tree tops as vantage points to spot its prey. While primarily feeding on insects and lizards that cross its path, this avian beauty has been observed capturing small birds, frogs, and even mammals. Photographed against the picturesque backdrop of Hungary's natural landscape by DR P. MARAZZI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this image encapsulates not only the mesmerizing presence of one individual bird but also represents an entire biological phenomenon. With elements of ornithology and zoology intertwined within every feathered detail captured here, it serves as a testament to both nature's diversity and our fascination with these magnificent creatures.
