We've only moved just over 5 miles but we didn't know this area at all before moving here. Although of course we did have a good look around when looking for a house and there were a number of things we wanted on our check list.
Wildlife is always a plus and there are plenty of different types of ducks on the lake near us plus swans of course. And in the forest there are deer and cattle as well as squirrels and foxes.
We get a number of different birds in the garden too including yellow tits (which I have no photos off yet) and parakeets.
There are lots of parakeets around here - and yes they are mainly a green colour but they definitely have yellow on them too. Yes I was scraping the barrel trying to think of a word for Y lol.
These pics were taken in the park a while back.
I only managed to get a pic of one this afternoon.
I will guess the parakeets are from original escaped pets? You would have mild winters then, so maybe newly escaped? They don't often live long enough to from flocks. Must be pretty to see at the feeders.
ReplyDeleteWe have flocks of hundreds of the parakeets which roost in a cemetery not far from where I live. You see them swooping overhead each evening just before the sun sets. Yellow Tit? new one on me. You might see a yellow wagtail though.
ReplyDeleteParakeets in the wild!! Wow!! I would love to see them!! I'm late getting here but want to say congrats to you for making through another A-Z!! You are the only blogging friend I have now who does this. There used to be a few more. I have enjoyed getting to know your neighborhood!!
ReplyDeleteIf you can post a picture of the “yellow tit” that would be interesting. I am racking my brains to think what it might be.
