BBC NEWS | Education | Wild parrots settle in suburbs

BBC NEWS | Education | Wild parrots settle in suburbs: "
The number of wild parrots living in England is rising at 30% per year, says an Oxford University research project."

I haven't seen any parrots in Bristol yet, but we had a woodpecker in the garden this morning. He had a very bold red cap but unfortunately he had gone by the time I had found the camera.

Project Parakeet is an indepth study of the growth of the parrot population in the UK. There are some interesting pics in the section 'Identifying UK Parrots' e.g.
