Female Rose-ringed Parakeet [nominate group] (Psittacula krameri krameri)-9758
Female Rose-ringed Parakeet [nominate group] (Halsbåndparakitt / Psittacula krameri krameri) from Parque Doramas (Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain).
Since first taking photos of the species on Gran Canaria a few years back I've learned that this bird, contrary to the Monk Parakeet that also exists on these islands, is a sub-Saharian African bird - so the birds found here doesn't necessarily have to be introduced by man. After all - the shortest distance from Gran Canaria to mainland Africa is only about 200km!
Canon 70D, Canon EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L USM IS.
The photo is part of a Rose-ringed Parakeet / halsbåndparakitt set.
