Wildlife spotting

Good start to the week.



Woodpecker gonna peck wood.

Lovely fungi and woodpecker pics. Seeing twice as many goldfinches as usual right now, guess they might be looking to migrate soon. Last year I think I saw the last one in early December.

There is a dove outside my flat on the tree opposite, regularly engaging in a delicate tightrope act on the flimsiest of twigs to get at something.

I spread some seeds and the like out in the planters on my balcony so hopefully they can get some food there.

Have the parakeets made it as far as Leeds? I saw some in a Manchester park t'other week, which surprised me as I'd only previously seen them in that London. But I was out near Calverley Woods this morning with the dog, and saw five green birds flying in formation, and heard a very familiar call. They were too far away for me to be absolutely sure, but what else could they have been, with that size and colour? The green was very distinct, even against the treeline.

Yes, they have. A friend had one in his back garden a few weeks back and apparently there's a colony in Roundhay Park.

Interesting! Thanks for confirming.
