We used to get a flock of parakeets in the park.. I haven't seen them for a while..

Quote from: klondike on March 18, 2026, 07:12:50 AMThey were reintroduced some years ago and have done very well. They are spreading all along the Nene valley and are even a common sight in parts of the town now.

They are amusing at the marina where my son keeps a boat and where we go fishing. They will dive down and take sliced bread off the water. Crusts hold together better but although they smash slices they still get enough for a nibble from their claws and the ducks get the rest. Sometimes they are there in the low teens with 5 or 6 common.

Yes,  they are getting more common than Sparrows these days.
There are always a lot flying around over the landfill site near Wellingborough too.

Lovely sunshine here... Blue skies...

There is always a lot of those  huge Red Kites circling in the skies around here too.
I was sitting down the park lunchtime today with my dogs, and a Kite flew down and perched in one the  big trees just a few yards away.
They are about most days here.

OK Thanks, When you said you had to use your phone I thought it was an App.
I googled the Site on the desk computer and a whole load of them came up, all called the same name but all different when clicked on, and I thought that's a lot of fluffing help.
