Blue Bellied Roller.

12th February 2026
This is a common bird of warm open country with some trees. These rollers often perch prominently on trees, posts, or overhead wires, like giant shrikes, whilst watching for the grasshoppers and other large insects on which they feed.
These birds are also highly attracted to bush fires, waiting for the inevitable displacement of small animals and insects.
When they fly they exhibit a striking blue wing colouration.
