Ring-necked Parakeets.
Species: Psittacula krameri.
The ring-necked, or rose-ringed, parakeet is the UK's most abundant naturalised parrot. It became established in the wild in the 1970s after captive birds escaped or were released.
Info: RSPB.
Although native to warmer climates in Northern Africa and Southern Asia, the parakeet has settled in for good in chilly Britain, where it is the most northerly, wild breeding parrot species on Earth.
These birds are now becoming regular visitors in gardens around the Stockport area.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
