    What about these birds I see in all the local parks?

    They are Ring-necked Parakeets. They either escaped or were deliberately released and have been around for many years. There is a large, increasing population in Southern England especially in the Greater London area.

    Thanks Tony. Their colour gives them excellent camouflage in parks. They're almost invisible in trees.

    Look like Ring-Necked Parakeets. Escaped from captivity and bred to form a colony.

    There Green Feral Rose Ringed Parakeets, lots of them in West London, They estimate there are over 6,000 of them now living in the wild, they believe they all originated from one pair that was released, being mostly seed eaters they survive the winter raiding bird feeders.

    There's one more awhile I'm at it that's been bugging me

    When I'm walking on the pavement at night, I sometimes get an annoying web on my face. A single thread. If I walk past a lamp post, I can sometimes see the thread and avoid it.

    Is it a spider? It seems to be sending out a sticky 'fishing line' that sways in the breeze.
