Parakeet nest-hole, Crowther Road Wood

Parakeet nest-hole, Crowther Road Wood

Nest-hole of one (or more) of the ring-necked parakeets now resident locally. Seen from the opposite side of the canal, a highish vantage point provided by the bridge over the side arm to Victoria Wharf.

I saw the bird fly into the trees, calling loudly. It landed on one of the trees next to the one with the nest, carrying on squawking. Seconds later it went into the nest – just as I’d got my camera ready.

Nest is perhaps home to one or a pair of the birds from the small flock which hang out in the woodland on the other side of the canal, nearer to Newbridge.
