Just wondering - what is the known established range of those Green Ring-Necked Parakeet's?
Only, I was hanging out a bit of washing and upon gazing directly upwards after hearing a couple of low pitched squawk's, spotted what I believe were about thirty or-so of these birds flying in tight formation moving due West towards South Wales area's? Anyone happen to have spotted these new arrivals recently?
 
A Peregrine falcon was photographed over South London about 3 days ago with a rose-beak parakeet in its talons. The adult male then dropped the bird in mid air to the male chick below to teach it hunting skills.
