rose-ringed parakeet

Indian Rose-ringed / Ring-necked Parakeet Heavy crop. Image re-sized, levels adjusted and minimally sharpened. Thank you for your kind appreciation of my previous posts.

Inspired by drjpmenon's parakeet photo I wanted to show my shots of Canary Is subspecies. This, I believe, is 'borealis' but would welcome any correction if necessary. Taken in Gran Canaria. Apologies for lack of sharpness!

I've calmed down a bit from my Ring Ouzel (and reported it to the Recorder). Though not a lifer, it feels like the bird of a lifetime, better than all the rarities I've seen (which were found by other people, and weren't in my garden). But with birds, you never quite know what's going to turn up...

there's often squabbling on the feeder by these guys, sometimes 4 or more at a time. This one like to eat peanuts from one foot, hanging on with the other and dropping bits for the wood pigeons waiting below

Invasive species for this area. Now well represented with quite many groups

Shot this female snacking on jawar(sorghum) crop last evening. Wasn't planning to upload today but changed my mind after seeing Ken's uploads. Of course, these are nowhere as beautifully hued as those Down Under. There was a male companion on an adjacent plant & I got some shots of both of...
