Who's a pretty boy

Out for a woody walk with friend H. There were quite a few of these parakeets about cackling away. London has a quite a lot of these birds now, a pest as they strip the bark off of trees, killing them. There are various stories as to where they came from, some say a few birds escaped from the huge bird cage at London zoo but more say they escaped from the set of African Queen when it was being filmed many years ago. Whatever, they seem to have thrived and are getting larger. This one was looking a bit chilly.
