Heard but not seen one or more of the Wolverhampton ring-necked parakeets recently. Then, yesterday, a definite sighting.
The bird pictured in this set flew across the canal at tree-top level. It came, perhaps, from Newbridge wood, and landed it the top of a tall canalside tree in Crowther Road wood. It then started making the loud parakeet squawks for about a minute.
It became apparent that these noises were directed at a buzzard which was also perched nearby, when the birds both took off flying towards Newbridge, the parakeet chasing the buzzard.
