Towards dusk, I heard what I thought was a flock of noisy starlings. Looking out of the window, I found about 15 ring-necked parakeets on next door's silver birch tree. They gathered there with others swooping down to join them for a noisy chat and a bit of preening, then off they bustled in a shrieking cloud towards the woods at the end of the road. Some people hate them, but I love them and think they add colour and personality to our neighbourhoods. Though whether I'd like them to roost outside my bedroom window, I'm not at all sure. The magpie's nest is bad enough!
