Fantastic! Very jealous..
Wonderful capture Sobal! Congratulations, your beautiful roller has earned you Spotting of the Day! The Indian roller is a common sight across the sub-continent, and also features in many local legends. The species is particularly associated with the deity Shiva and it often released during religious festivals.
