Post by: Khalli on January 30, 2014, 03:20:54 PM

This Little Blue Heron didn't seem pleased to be photographed.

One of the many Brown Pelicans for photo shoots.

Not sure if this Parrot is a recent attempt at re-introduction or just a visitor to the Island. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

There are no parrot species in the eBird list of observations from British Virgin Islands so I would assume it's an escapee.

thanks thou
in the past few years the BVIs have started to introduce two parrot breeds trying to re-establish them but neither breed of Parrot looked like this one.
