In the sun-warmed grasslands and open woodlands of Europe, this jewel-toned flier perches quietly before bursting into dazzling, rolling flight. It hunts large insects, small reptiles, and frogs from exposed lookouts, dropping swiftly to the ground with pinpoint accuracy. What makes it extraordinary is its flair in motion — acrobatic twists and turns that light up the sky — paired with its steady work keeping insect populations in balance. A flash of turquoise and chestnut, yet a dependable guardian of open country.
