Rose-ringed Parakeets

Nice shot below from RS of three individuals at Friendly - Sowerby Bridge. They have been reported for some time from that area though expansion into the rest of Calderdale is quite slow - for now !
They are also sometimes known as Rose-ringed Parakeets as well as Green Parakeets. (Psittacula krameri). An introduced species from South Asia and sub-saharan Africa, they are now feral in several European countries. Thanks for the photo Richard.
