No, Di, but an occasional look through the binoculars when the trout aren`t biting does help to broaden one`s horizons.

I would have seen those and though "Nice sparrows" *sigh* must read up more on birds!

We have ring necked parakeets round our way - there's a big flock of them in Richmond, and they're spreading!!!

We've parakeets here in SELondon as well, just one pair though.

Pleased to report that a pair of long-tailed tits have taken up local residency as well.
