| European roller: Coracias garrulus |
This is my
first photograph of an European roller (Eurasian roller/Kashmir roller). I’ve
spotted it before but never had it on camera. In my early days of birding, I
often confused it with Indian roller…the original Neelkanth image I had in my
mind.
4th
October is the day my father passed away, and, having known him for 30 years of
my life, I’m sure he would approve me being out there on this day. If he could,
my father would have been the first to accompany me on observing nature. He was
the one who taught me to look around, observe and understand the delicate
interplays and dependencies in our environment.
This one, I
dedicate to my father.
