Colourful parakeets spotted in Cambridge

Parakeets have been photographed at Coton Orchard near Cambridge.

A haven for wildlife and a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of Cambridge city centre, Coton Orchard is a patchwork of apple and plum trees.

Now, for what is thought to be the first time ever, rose-ringed parakeets have been spotted by the group "Coton Loves Pollinators".

The site is under threat from the planned off-road Cambourne to Cambridge Busway.
