For a couple of months I’ve heard a bird call locally that reminded me strongly of the rose-ringed parakeets in London. I’ve never seen the bird and finally managed to make a recording of it yesterday (I heard it the day before at dusk down in the bay, probably spending the night there). I’ve now seen pictures from somebody that took pictures of this species just a few kilometres east of here, no doubt the same bird.
