For the last 5 years the Ponteland Parakeet has visited Prestwick to pick the new buds from Horse Chestnut Trees. Without fail it's visits commence the week the buds open - and this year was no exception. It (not sure if it is male or female) will be an early morning visitor for the next couple of weeks and then probably not return for another year!
Peter of PC wanderings takes far better pictures than I do so here is one from his collection of fantastic bird pictures at PC Wanderings
