North London Parakeet!!

Just strolling down garden when I heard and unusual screech . I looked up and there in the top of a tree was a parakeet . An unusual sight here in North London .

'The origin of the UK’s ring-necked parakeets is also a mystery, although there are suggestions they were first released during the filming of the film African Queen at Shepperton studios, or set free by Jimi Hendrix in Carnaby Street, London. However they arrived, in the eyes of the London Wildlife Trust, they are now “as British as curry”.'

This one may have escaped the cull on the Isle of Dogs ??( Amazing what you can find out on the internet .)
