Anyone a Twitcher
I know stuff all about Birds. This has been keeping me company outside the garage recently, it's quite big and not frightened by noise or people,
infact it chases all the magpies away. sorry the pictures grainy but My camera's quite old....

It's a Jay
Common enough but still very striking birds close up.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Being a Locoster could you not weld up a feeder? My neighbour made a squirrel proof one, now they jump off a nearby tree and land on top of it...

I put up some bird feeders, ended up not refilling them as the cat was getting too big, and there were feathers and legs all over the house .
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

We get parakeets on our bird feeders. Apparently they started as a couple of escaped pets about 15 years ago, now there's a flock of a couple of
hundred roaming north Surrey

The parakeets are fairly common now in the South East - I believe that the RSPB now class them as a native species.
We've had them in the garden - funny to watch them being mobbed by crows, who then find themselves swooped upon by the avian equivalent of an
F-15! The parakeets are FAR better fliers than the crows!
