Not seen anything, as I've been indoors working this morning; but can hear the pleasant chirping of sparrows, and the loud sqeaks of the local parakeets. Big green parrotty things that live around here in south London - 40,000 of them, apparently! You hardly ever get a good look at them as they're so active and fast - but you hear them regularly, they sounds like squeaky toys... :)
oh ceres i am so jealous i would love to see the ring necks in my garden. at the moment i can see an african grey parrot sat on my knee lol ;D
Mr squirrel broke my feeder >:( causing all the seeds to fall to the ground and of course the collard doves in the area decided to not miss out on the action, not that i blame them. i have got some oldish seed that i was going to get rid of, but i think tomorrow i will knock together a feeder just for the squirrel fill it with the old feed seeds to encourage him to stay away from my feeders this year.
Pretty as the parakeets are, I hope they're not too numerous round West Reading! I wouldn't fancy the chances of any crop they took a liking to. They're very agile, tough birds and they go round in gangs. Could strip a sweetcorn patch in ten minutes, I'm sure. There does seem to be evidence that they are out-competing native birds, and it's not surprising, when you see them in action. Bands of thugs, really! Not their fault of course, one can hardly blame them for doing what comes naturally, but not good news, either...
