Hello Joe,
A great capture of the London Ring-necked Parrakeet: I have seen a flock of them in Hyde Park a few years back and though it quite exotic.
Excellent sharpness and composition and the use of flash was obviously very suitable.
TFS,
Ivan

Hello Joe,
It must be very weird to see these in London! I remember seeing plenty of them in New Delhi. They're beautiful birds but rather noisy! This is a great capture of one clinging to the bark of a tree. Great sharpness and beautiful colours. Well done!
TFS and cheers, Ulla

I didn't know there were free and flying parrakeets in London! He posed for you like a squirrel would, I guess he expected the peanuts. Great capture, amazing to me and your freshness is always a pleasure! Thanks JOey,

Hi Joe,
Congratulations for capturing Ring-necked Parakeet. You managed to get quite close and to keep it still for a moment in a good pose. Very good shot with pin sharp details, well composed and bright natural colours. Now its my turn to find one ask it to pose for me;-)

Hi Joe,

I'll never forget the first time I saw these Parakeets flying around in India. Until then I had only seen them in cages. Hard to believe they are in London! I like the pose and the strange look he/she is giving you. Good colors and details of the face, eye, and wings. Wonder if we'll ever see one in Tucson.

Hello Joe

I am surprised!
What a wonderful capture of this beauty.
I used to watch Fawlty Towers and Basil always bragged about England's palm trees ,he never mentioned parrots though.
These are very exotic looking,I would love to have a butcher's at them.
The lighting really shows off the green plumage well.
Great job , a very informative post.

Hi Joe!

Are you sure? For me it looks more like Norwegian Blue :-) Or rather Norwegian Green :-) Amazing. Parrots in such place...
