Things you might not expect to see in a London park...

A photo I took on Friday evening - this is at the extreme zoom of the Fuji, and it shows a little, there's some fringing around things. The first picture is reduced in size, the second is a crop from the middle.







It's one of the red-necked parakeets that have have become a naturalised British species, of course, the first time I've managed to get a photo. I saw three more or less simultaneously, this was the only one that landed where I could get a picture, the others vanished into the leaves. Since I could only see it as a blob in the viewfinder I wasn't able to get a better picture; this is the clearest, and none of the others show its head any better.

Fairly common near most London parks now - they like open space so you don't see them in gardens much.

Actually my sister tells me they are turning up in gardens too and scaring off the native birds.
