[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Free populations Rose-ringed Parakeet/Psittacula krameri, present itself hardly in the past few year in Greece
The family of parrots was not represented the last thousands years in the European space
(fossils have been found in France by the period of Miocene).
Nevertheless certain types invade recently as fugitives having it creates even reproductive colonies in Europe.
One and is not formally immigratory bird is considered impossible his arrival
from the tropical regions via immigratory movements.
Nevertheless, because it is known as “animal of company”
we can suppose that his free European populations
emanated from accidental or even thougtfully releases of captured birds.

Hello Nasos,
Interesting to see that there are now wild populations of the Ring-necked Parakeet in Greece.
Though the POV from below is not ideal you caught this individual with good sharpness against a fine blue sky.
TFS and best wishes,
Ivan

γνωρίζοντας της συνθήκες λήψης (χωρίς τρίποδα, κόντρα φως, δύσκολη γωνία προσέγγισης) το αποτέλεσμα είναι εκπληκτικό δίνοντας την δυνατότητα της χρήσης του cropping στο μέγιστο, εύγε φίλε μου
