Was at Elstree first thing on Thursday, and saw two Monk Parakeets noisily fly over. I quite like these birds, especially as they make their own nest as oposed to pinching a Little Owl or Stock Dove nest hole. Pity that the Elstree colony doesn't seem to be gaining much of a foothold though, and are still classed as escapees.
Ring Necked Parakeets on the other hand seem to be rapidly turning into a real pest, especially for anyone living near Esher Rugby Club.. Wonder if they'll go the same was as the Ruddys. I can see it ending in tears!
