Wild Parakeet

Description

A wild female ring necked parakeet tucking into it's breakfast (I think it is some kind of fungus growing on the tree). Quite a strange sight to see these in the UK but they are becoming more and more common in South East England. I photographed this one in Richmond Park, Surrey where they seemed to outnumber all other bird species!

Enjoy! :)

Ring-necked Parakeet - Psittacula krameri
Length: 38-42 cm

The UK's only naturalised parrot - it is large, long-tailed and green with a red beak and a pink and black ring around its face and neck. In flight it has pointed wings, a long tail and very steady, direct flight. Often found in flocks, numbering hunderds at a roost site, it can be very noisy.
