Indian Roller

The Indian Roller is a brightly coloured bird with various shades of blue. Was in love with this cute fella the second I saw him and couldn't resist myself from clicking pictures of him.
Managed to capture few images of his flight too. Do scroll down to check them out.
It's also the official state bird of Indian states like Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Odisha.
It's also known as Palapitta or Neelkanth.
And is popularly known as "Friends of Farmers" as these birds help in pest control by feeding on insects.

Did a lot of research to write all this :P

Enjoy the pictures!!
