Parakeet returns to Prestwick


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

Thanks to PCF for photo taken last year on Prestwick Carr

Yes the Short Eared Owls have returned

(sorry Peter of Carr Birds - news is too good to keep secret - how about buying some land to convert for car parking?)

Why not visit Carr Birds as well

Please do visit "Carr birds"  In setting up this Blog I am hoping to compliment the excellent photos and comments made by Peter in his blog. The aim is not to compete with his content but perhaps cover some other items which might interest readers.
