The European Roller (Coracias garrulus) is a bird with bright turquoise colours. He is used to roosting on open ground and rushing to catch insects on land or even flying, but he is clumsy on the ground. These are the pirouettes of his nuptial flight that earned him his name. On this occasion, its plumage appears in all its splendor. As early as August, he migrates to southern Africa. His route would go through the Mediterranean and the Sahara.
