[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Rollers are an Old World family of near passerine birds. They resemble crows in size and build, but are more closely related to the kingfishers and bee-eaters. They share the colourful appearance of those groups, blues and browns predominating. The two inner front toes are connected, but not the outer one.

These are insect eaters, usually catching their prey in the air. They often perch prominently whilst hunting, like giant shrikes. The group gets its name from the aerial acrobatics some of these birds perform.

These are birds of warm climates. They nest in an unlined tree-hole, and lay 2-4 eggs.

The eleven species are:

This is a beautiful photo with very good technique. Perfect exposure and focus and you have also managed to capture a special situation that makes this even more interesting.

Great notes but I would have liked to read about the 11 species.... ;o)

Hi Suleyman
Great moment, although the frog does not look that appetizing.
May I suggest not to put the roller in the center, even in this vertical compo.
