Rose-ringed Parakeets - pics for a book

Friday, my editor informed me that we need a supplementary good picture of parakket to illustrate my forthcoming book on Garden Birds. So this morning I headed to Sceaux to photograph some parakeets there.

The pic for the book - my best of this morning, I thinl.

I also visited the local tawny owl which is apparently always at the entrance of its hole.


Numerous red squirrels were also arround, coming to the locals to be fed.
