Parrots in Abington

Mike and Lois Bull have added a new species to the Abington list today - a Ringnecked Parakeet on their peanut feeder!

The RSPB says that it is the UK's only naturalised parrot - it is large, long-tailed and green with a red beak and a pink and black ring around its face and neck. In flight it has pointed wings, a long tail and very steady, direct flight. Often found in flocks, numbering hundreds at a roost site, it can be very noisy.
