Subspecies: ??? Subspecies holochlora? They breed in the hole on the cliffs reaching about 50-100 down. I estimated to see 200, but more present probably. They are more difficult to photograf than the swifts, which are also difficult. Ascending systematically in circles the swifts leave more chances to get a shot. The parakeets fly in straight lines, and mostly toward you when they leave the hole, and therefore the distance changes all the time, something the camera does not like when autofocusing. |
