Ring-Necked Parakeet for Bradshaw

After a busy afternoon, spent mostly on the phone with various insurance companies, Sue and I decided to take a stroll to the Moorlands for a very late lunch / early tea.
I took the camera and bins with me – just in case.

After a good meal and a few ‘elderberry cordials’ we strolled home.

Nearing home I happened to look at the top of a conifer where a wider than expected green branch caught my eye – using the bins revealed a Ring-Necked Parakeet.

I thought that the ‘elderberry cordials’ had been too
strong – but no, it was the bird.

I managed to get 3 poor photos before it flew off.

A text to B.S. when I get home , whetted his appetite, and he decided to pop down to Bradshaw for a gander.

We happened to bump into my mate Adam, who showed us a route where we could get a better view of the conifer – and we were rewarded with some cracking views, and I got some better pictures of the bird.


Thanks Adam – I'll
get you a wine gum and hot water next time I’m in the Fleece!
