Was that really a Parakeet?

 I've seen some interesting birds visit the garden feeders over the years, but such a visitor had never crossed my mind before!  

Hail - 12 April

 Quite a rude awakening this morning!   Hail on the garden table top, windscreen and rhubarb.

A10 Field

 I was alerted to the possibility of seeing a Woodcock in a field alongside the A10, but not on this occasion, despite it being dusk.   Perhaps another time.....

What I did see was a pair of Bullfinches which I hadn't seen for many a year, a Kestrel and the evening light was magnificent on a birch tree.
