Green parakeet London

Green parakeet London by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Records of parakeets living wild in the UK can be found going back to the mid-nineteenth century, but it is only since the late 1990s that the raucous green parrots have been seen in London and southeast England in significant numbers and started to settle elsewhere in the country...Electric Ladyland wasn’t the only thing Jimi Hendrix released in 1968. One day in that tumultuous year he left his flat on Brook Street, Mayfair, and strolled down nearby Carnaby Street with a birdcage in his hands. I like to think that he was dressed in a tasselled jacket and flares, his favourite Fender Stratocaster slung across his back. Or perhaps he travelled incognito, in a trenchcoat and dark glasses. Either way, somewhere on that street, the heart of Swinging London at the height of peace and love, he opened the door of the cage and unleashed two bright green birds: Adam and Eve, a breeding pair of ring-necked parakeets.

Great Tit on Lichen in the Hedgrow London by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: One often overlooked but important nesting site for wild birds is hedges. Preserving and managing hedgerows will help maintain a healthy bird population. Hedges provide protection, shelter and resources for wild birds, Hedgerows are one of our most easily encountered wildlife habitats, found lining roads, railways and footpaths, bordering fields and gardens and on the coast.

Old world flycatchers - Park Robin..

Old world flycatchers - Park Robin.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: The UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familiar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Males and females look identical and young birds have no red breast but are a spotted golden brown. Robins sing nearly all year round and, despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders. They will sing at night next to streetlights

COAL TIT (Periparus ater) London..

COAL TIT (Periparus ater) London.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: The tiniest of tits with dull grey feathers to match its name. The coal tit is a frequent visitor to bird feeders across the UK. Not to be confused with: other tit species, particularly the willow tit and marsh tit. They are similar at first glance however the coal tit has a white patch at the back of its head while willow tits and marsh tits have a fully black cap
