Grow Your Own Magazine

after a productive morning on the lottie, i was having a cuppa just sitting on a chair in the middle of my plot and started to listen to the birds etc, then realised that the squawking i could here was from wild ring necked parakeets, took me ages to actually see one though!! but they really are well hidden in the fresh leaf growth on the trees, despite being a vivid bright green colour with red beaks. it just got me wondering whether any one else had any exotic widlife around their plots?

We used to have Amazonian parrots - 2 red and blue, 2 blue and yellow - flying about here. They belonged at a nearby property.
Lovely for you to have the parakeets. I had heard they were living wild now in some parts of the country.

Cool for you kernowyon, we don't have any such spectacular wildlife round here, although someone did apparently manage to lose a couple of Eagle Owls in local plantations, not that I've seen either of them.

We heard a woodpecker last weekend!

Our garden seems to be a haven for slow worms...
The young ones are very easy to mistake for worms..
They eat slugs too which can't be bad!

Anyone got Glow worms near them?

I sat on the grass watching one in the garden on Saturday; it was great to see it hopping up through the trees.

woodpeckers are nice to look at but try one knocking seven bells out of an old oak tree about thirtyfive yards away from my bedroom window at fivethirty in the morning but they only do it in the spring they will give up soon i hope
