Hi there. For the past 12-18 months I have been aware of a Ring Neck Parakeet in Fog Lane Park in Didsbury.I frequent the park as I live across the road and have marvelled at the exotic sounds this bird makes. 6 months ago my youngest lad was playing on the park when I spotted 2 Parakeets together,not thinking much of it at the time. However 2 weeks ago we were again playing in the footy pit area of the park when to mine and my kids amazement approx 12-15 Parakeets flew over making an almghty racket. I was wondering if anybody knew where they may roost? Also I am hoping that they choose Fog Lane Park as they have in that London park to breed and roost.It will be quite a spectacle. Regards. ps Great forum
Oh and had my first ever Blackcap and Sparrowhawk in my garden in last few days. And the usual Robins Dunnocks Blue- Great and Coal Tits 6 Woodpigeons daily..and my noisy little Wren. Fox and Hedgehog at night.Who'd think I live 3 miles from Mcr City Centre
