Ring necked Parakeets
Fortunate enough this afternoon to have a flock of 11 Ring Necked Parakeets flying around in my neighbourhood in Yardley.
We had 3 in the afternoon, going between the tops of the Oak & Sycamore trees. it looked like they were eating the sycamore fruits & possibly the acorns higher up the trees. Then a group of 7 more arrived together and joined the 3 for about 20 minutes, all flying together zipping low over the gardens & then settling in the tree tops. The 7 then flew off & came back about half hour later & joined up with the 3 again for 10 minutes, before the 7 flew off in the direction they came from originally. I think one of the original three is a juvenille .
They are really colourful birds but they are very hard to photograph because their colour is perfect camouflage against the tree leaves & because they fly really fast.
