A new, first time spotted visitor to the garden today. At first I thought it was a scruffy pigeon - it was in the shade of a tree on the garage roof.



Nearly tame, but wouldn't come off the garage roof for food. But would whistle tunes with me. No local fb posts of anyone missing one. Flew off when I was trying to tempt it to walk onto a pole/stick.

No sign of a ring, but do pet birds get ringed?

Just pining for the fjords I assume.
If caught I'll send him off to Fenland Flier to get him home.

We went for a little walk on Penistone Hill above Haworth this afternoon and I lost count of how many willow warblers I heard (I spotted a few too)

That's a grey parrot / African grey. Surprised nobody has advertised it missing.

Only if you can catch them. I saw a parrot once sitting on the verge of a motorway onslip. It wasn't a macaw but smaller and brightly coloured. It may have affected the quality of my driving 😅
It was within a parrot's throw of Belfast zoo, so my theory has always been an escapee from there. A flamingo did the same many years back, and was captured at nearly the same spot. I missed it.
