A photo of a medium-sized, stocky bird (29–32 cm / 11.5–12.5 in long) perched on a thin, leafless wooden branch. It features a soft pastel blue-turquoise head, neck, and underparts, a warm chestnut-brown back, and a striking bright turquoise tail tip. It has a stout black beak, dark eyes with a slight black stripe extending through them, and is set against a soft, out-of-focus background of blue sky and subtle green foliage.

Clue: This brightly coloured visitor to Europe and Western/Central Asia gets its common name from the striking aerial acrobatics, flips, and rolls it performs during courtship flights!

Fun Fact: Nestlings of this species have a unique self-defense mechanism: when threatened by predators, they vomit a foul-smelling orange liquid all over themselves! This deters hungry attackers and alerts returning parents to potential danger around the nest.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
