I've also had a young GS Woodie and s/he calls every day - but it's only been in the garden once - so far!<br /><br />NatureStop - thanks. Yes - very noisy!<br /><br />Phil - they're spreading east and north now!<br /><br />Liz - thanks. The feeders certainly are being emptied very quickly!<br /><br />Keith - yes they are noisy and, sorry, they're reported to be moving north. Must admit, I do enjoy the Nuthatches so might be a bit selfish in keeping those two here! Lol<br /><br />Hi Midlands Birder - sounds as though you get some great garden visitors; like you website and will keep visiting you.<br /><br />Warren - wouldn't it be great if we could turn our gardens around to have the sun where we choose!! lOL<br /><br />Frank - they were/are roosting in a school's grounds not far from you. I think they may be back roosting at the Rugby Club as I've seen them flying over to the West at roosting time, on several evenings now.<br /><br />Sometimes about 40 in each flock!<br /><br />John - it's not so much the Eucalyptus but more the height of trees that make them attractive to the Paras.<br /><br />And I share your view about shared hedges!!<br /><br />Colin - you're lucky not to have them. Don't think I'd want one as a pet though! Lol<br /><br />Karen - I'm very lucky to get the variety and numbers of birds that I do. I put it down to living in a fairly heavily wooded area.<br /><br />SPD - don't know which is worse really - Keets or Gulls! But the sea, hot chocolate and cake - now you're talking :D<br /><br />OC - I'll suggest a migratory route for the Parakeets and send them over! :DTricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-10061959820080428782009-07-14T09:43:33.570+01:002009-07-14T09:43:33.570+01:00The parakeets are wonderful.

It's now hot and muggy with rain but my feeders have gone beserk with what I assume are more newly fledged sparrows, new Goldies and also some new Great tits - Very yellow faces! So I'm very happy now as just recently the feeders have been very quite with the parents moulting and hiding (I assume) :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-88240956347977872792009-07-13T18:46:13.214+01:002009-07-13T18:46:13.214+01:00Lovely photos yet again, them Parakeets are gorgeo...Lovely photos yet again, them Parakeets are gorgeous, I saw some wild ones last week whilst visiting a friend in Broadstairs.Phil and Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603166379246060547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-22706412418311822752009-07-13T18:41:25.639+01:002009-07-13T18:41:25.639+01:00The Parakeets can be really noisy.I can imagine 15...The Parakeets can be really noisy.I can imagine 15 of them:)You got some nice shots of the Tits.NatureStophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668434381160922043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-20163501257891871892009-07-13T17:50:29.640+01:002009-07-13T17:50:29.640+01:00I haven't seen LTTs in the garden for some mon...I haven't seen LTTs in the garden for some months but I think that happened last year as well.
