Not something you see every day 🦜
They blend in well with the lush greenery of Wollaton Park, but look a little closer, and you can see two parrots! The ring-neck parakeets were spotted in the vast parkland on Sunday by Gareth Eames, who whipped out his camera to capture these stellar shots.
In May last year at least three ring-neck parrots were spotted near the Nottingham Hockey Centre in Highfields Park. According to the RSPB: "Despite their tropical origin, the parakeets are fully able to cope with the cold British winters, especially in suburban parks, large gardens and orchards, where food supply is more reliable.
"Despite good numbers of parakeets living in the wild for a long time, and apart from an isolated incidence in Norfolk in 1855, they only started to breed in 1969 in Kent, south-east of London. Since then the population has steadily increased, with 8,600 pairs recorded in the summer, and is still growing.
"Even though Greater London and surrounding areas is still its stronghold, the species has been recorded in almost every county in England, and has reached Wales and the Scottish border"s.
