Regional Mega - EUROPEAN ROLLER on the island of Mull

At 0730 hours this morning, BIRDLINE SCOTLAND broadcast news of a EUROPEAN ROLLER discovered on the island of Mull (Argyll) two hours earlier - 4 miles NW of Salen at Glen Aros on overhead cable wires by the log piles 2.5 miles west of the A848 road junction.

Roller is a rare vagrant to Scotland with perhaps one twitchable bird per decade
