They seem to be colonising the UK! Personally I love the splash of colour they bring even though they are buggering up the natural order of things.I saw a picture something like this about a month ago and there was a message saying can you spot the 2 blue parakeets in amongst all the green ones, and i think in your picture i see 2 blue parakeets so it maybe the same group.
They may look and sound nice, but they are an invasive species and harmful to our native birds and to crops.
A shame, but there you have it.
Those crazy Leicester fans eh.There's a lot at Elfordleigh Golf Club as well, quite a site when they 'swarm' or whatever it is parakeets do.
The most awesome sight I've ever seen apart from a massive murmurisation at King's Sedgemoor Drain when I was pike fishing one late June evening was about 10,000 flying foxes in the air at Port Douglas in Oz. I honestly thought I was seeing things.
