You looking at me?
As mentioned in a previous posting, since the 1970s, wild Ring necked Parakeets thought to have either escaped captivity or freed, have spread across S.E. England & into London. Not a native bird, originally from tropical countries such as Africa and India, they have adapted to our colder weather in suburban areas, where there is plenty of food and shelter. I spotted this fellow & his partner in our local park. They have now arrived in our part of N.W. London. He turned around to glare at me as I took a photo :) There is concern about their impact on native British birds, which is being monitored.
