Fuerteventura - Ring Necked Parakeet

We saw another unusual bird in Fuerteventura, but this one didn't involve any bus trips to see it, or in fact any effort at all, other than going out onto our balcony. A family of Ring Necked Parakeets lived in around our hotel complex, flying around calling very loudly in the early mornings and late evenings, often sitting on the balcony railings around the apartments. Unfortunately they sat high in a palm tree for most of the day, deep in the shade, making photographs quite difficult. And of course I didn't always have my camera with me when I was lying around the pool.

I did manage to get one or two photos during our stay.
