Broad-billed Roller

Broad-billed Roller Eurystomus glaucurus
Bishangari, Ethiopia
21 January 2014

    This was our only sighting of this small, compact roller. A pair was perched near the top of a solitary tall tree, a behaviour typical of this species. In Ethiopia they tend to frequent thick savannah woodland and open plains with scattered trees.
