Birding in Rome

Celebrating a significant birthday took us to Rome for a few days and as always mixed in with the fantastic buildings, wonderful food and warm weather, there was time to do a little bird watching.

14th February: The Vatican: Yellow Legged Gull, common throughout Rome, took little notice of the crowds to pick up tit bits.

15th February: The Colosseum and Forum: Hooded Crow and Yellow Legged Gull spotted along with a female Redstart.

16th February: Villa Borghese Park produced excellent views of Ring-Necked Parakeet.
