The European Roller is one of Africa’s most striking summer visitors, yet much of its migration between Europe, Africa and Central Asia remains poorly understood. We follow individual Rollers using satellite tracking, colour ringing and ground monitoring to map their movements across continents. This allows us to identify key breeding, stopover and non-breeding sites, understand the routes they use, and pinpoint the threats they face along the way. Our work is carried out in close collaboration with researchers, conservation organisations and local partners across the African–Eurasian Flyway.
