Eight Ring-necked Parakeets at Chorlton WP this afternoon, a couple on territory and 'singing' repeatedly from their favoured tree. Also one trying it's hardest to dismantle a feeder at the car park feeding station. It failed to do the robust metal feeder any damage, but it wasn't for the want of trying!

Increased presence on the chorlton stretford borders. I'm just west of Longford park and one flew low down our road yesterday morning. A pair feeding in a pear tree just round the corner. I suspect there may be a roost in Longford park as there is a lot of toing and froing from there morning and evening.
