Now looking for an equally good shot of the Blackheath Ferret please.

They’re pretty easy to spot around Vanbrugh Park Rd at this time of year, with the leaves off the trees. There’s a bird feeder suspended from one of the trees that they flock to. I took this shot just before Christmas, and I counted 7 parakeets in the tree at that point. http://www.flickr.com/photos/neilclasper/6527324023/in/photostream
Are these guys news? There’s been a big colony of them here in the Standard for years.
We have had a flock of Parakeets around the house for a few years. They did vanish during the really cold spells, but the birds are around at present. Our crab apple sill has apples on it, and we have a flock that just descends on the tree from time to time.
The best news is that the crows in our oak tree seem to be terrified of the parakeets. The crows vanish if they come.
