Park Parrots

Country Park - 5.12.19


Ring-necked or Rose-Necked Parakeets normally a resident in sub-Saharan African countries with feral populations now widespread and increasing across Europe, quite common in London parks but not so much in Northern England. In Greater Manchester I'm aware of two locations where these noisy colourful parakeets in are residence one being only a short travel distance so always on the look out for information current sightings.

At this time of year the parakeets seem to be constantly on the move looking for food occasionally even turning up on garden feeders. I've never previously tempted try for images but my interest all changed after seeing images of the birds visiting a possible nest hole thinking why not give it a go for some images.

Work in progress...
