Garden Wildlife- Parakeets

Jay925 · February 2, 2010

So, since getting a DSLR for Christmas, I decided I'd try bring some more wildlife into my garden. Had some fairly pleasing results so far with the amount of birds.

Comments and criticisms always welcomed.

Excellent shot and the 2nd is the best. Where in the Uk are you to get birds like that around your bird table? What is the name of this bird?

Well, I'm in Surrey, just outside central London. I don't know where they seem to have sprung from, they used to perch in a tree in my neighbours garden and once I'd put a feeder up they've been drawn to mine (which was the intention). It's a Parakeet. (Not sure of it's specific type- if there are any specific types for that matter...)

Regards,

Jack
