Kingston Parakeets

Looking for a German shop in Ham near Kingston and stopped in a park just over the river and heard strange squawks from the branches above and reallised these came from small green birds above us. thought maybe someones birds had escaped but talked to someone walking through the park and seems there are 50,000 of these birds around here and one story is that they escaped during the filming of the African Queen being made in nearby film studio.

Drove afterwards through Richmond Park to Richmond Gate and looked down at the river near the Star and Garter.. so beautiful. Many deers in the park. Leaves on the trees and underneath and felt almost the air around, golden
