European Rollers are non-breeding migrants ranging from Morocco to south-western and central Europe, Asia Minor, and eastwards towards Siberia. They are the only rollers to breed in Europe and their entire non-breeding range is in Africa. Birds usually start to arrive around October/November and depart again in March/April. This species travels vast distances, often over 10 000km, from its breeding grounds in Europe to its wintering grounds in sub-Saharan Africa.
European Rollers are large, heavy rollers with a square tail and pale blue to green-blue plumage. They are slightly larger than the Lilac-breasted Roller and have a bigger head and bill.
