(90). Monk parakeet, Myiopsitta monachus.

 

A couple of additions today from a visit to Capel Manor Gardens (which was otherwise underwhelming):

94. Regent parrot, Polytelis anthopeplus
95. Ducorp's corella, Cacatua ducorpsii

I might just get down to either Tilgate or better still Paris at some point during the remainder of the holidays to make a bit more headway .

 

Trip to Paradise park in Cornwall as part of a coincidentally well-placed family trip. Quite productive on the bird front as one can imagine…

96. Goffin’s cockatoo, Cacatua goffiniana
97. Philippine cockatoo, Cacatua haematuropygia
98. Pesquet’s parrot, Psittrichas fulgidus
99. Red collared lorikeet, Trichoglossus rubritorquis
100. Lilian’s lovebird, Agapornis lilianae

102. Yellow shouldered amazon, Amazona barbadensis
103. Venezuelan parakeet, Pyrrhura emma
104. Grey breasted parakeet, Pyrrhura griseipectis

Should be it for a while unless I get to Paris or Tilgate or Linton this summer.
