RETURNING ROLLERS TO MESARYA PLAIN



European Roller Coracias garrulous is a widespread summer visitor to much of Europe where over half or it’s breeding range lies, where it is thought to have declined leading to its designation as Vulnerable by the IUCN. As a cavity nester, Roller distribution is largely tied to availability of nest sites within its range. In North Cyprus, Roller are typically associated with the Karpaz Peninsula and the North Coast where habitats are favourable for their nesting due to the availability of cavities in old trees, moreover we recently determined these two sites as IBAs for the protection of this species among others. However, other potential breeding sites of the species, such as Mesarya Plain, were overlooked.
