The last two mornings I have been greeted in the morning by a familiar call from home.  My Brother-in-law lives in West london and every morning and evening large groups of Rose-ringed or Ring-necked Parakeets fly high overhead, announcing their presence with their distinctive call.  Here in Kabul one of the compounds near to my work has a couple in a cage and they become extremely vocal if any wild birds come near.  As I said the last few mornings a group of four birds have been present on the masts and trees adjacent to their compound. They do not appear to stay long and have moved off by 7am.  Unfortunately they have kept too far away for any decent photos but I will endeavour.
