Sažetak
Observations of the European Roller Coracias garrulus collected
during 2024 outside known breeding areas in coastal Croatia are summarized.
For each observation, the breeding probability was assessed,
based on the presence of an individual or a pair, bird behaviour, breeding
and migration phenology, and the availability of suitable nesting
(poplar trees with cavities) and foraging habitats (agricultural land).
Seven observations were recorded between 30 April and 25 June 2024,
with low to high breeding probability. The potential expansion of the
European Roller breeding area in Croatia creates a need for systematic
surveys of this species outside known breeding areas, which could be
supported by the evaluation of data from citizen science databases.
