Not for long fotunately. I was walking though the village this afternoon and noticed a lot of birds in the air. After paying attention to where I was walking for a minute I looked up again and the sky was empty. Suddenly a red kite came into view and circled alongside Botley Road for several minutes. Once it moved away to the north other birds were quickly taking to the air again.
Health issues mean that I haven't been paying any attention to my blogs but I was roused from my afternoon cup of tea today but a most unholy racket. Yes the parakeets have finallyarrived in my part of Chesham with a flock of five in the tree in my neighbours garden. It had to come eventually as they have been in Rickmansworth for years. Not much else happening apart from the usual circling kites and the occasional buzzard. I haven't seen anything eating my rowan berries but the tree is being steadily stripped. Usually its a mix of wood pigeons and blackbirds. Collared doves seem to be back in this end of the village as I saw a pair while waiting for the bus this week. They used to be garden regulars but hadn't seen any near the house for years.
