Roller

This Roller was taking the grass hopper back to its nest site when he/she stopped off in front of my camera. Look at the length of the antenae on the grass hopper.

Lovely image in every way.

Excuse the ignorance Mark, is this UK?
Lovely image of this striking bird with a bg to die for and yes lots of hoppers have antennae this length.

Lovely capture and I agree with Graham, that back ground is perfect.

I saw a few of these in Northern Greece in May, but could not get close enough for a shot, so very jealous.

Looks like a productive trip Mark, nice pose here, and the prey item is a big bonus.
