It's a beauty! how long before it relocates to Fallowfield?!

You been messing with Photoshop again Paul?

lol. i have to confess my heart skipped a beat as it flew in the corner of my eye, my brain shouted roller!

it's lovely bird tho - am hoping it's roosting in my bay tree having stuffed down half an apple in the pouring rain!

it's ringed with a blue metallic S93 - something along those lines.

Time for a North Manchester Parakeet thread perhaps!

feeding happily on my apple tree in the backgarden here in jericho, bury. nearly fell off my settee when it flew in!
