Today a flight of no less than 16 ring-necked parakeets came squawking high above our back garden, moving fast in a north-westerly direction. We have been seeing ones and twos of these parakeets here for just a few years, but I haven’t seen them congregating in these concentrations. Yesterday I saw a buzzard soaring over Lower Higham, just a couple of miles outside of Gravesend. Again, they are not unknown here, but it’s still relatively novel to see one this close to home.
