I believe ravens have been nesting near the cliffs in the past few years?

A couple of ravens flew along the ridge from the cliffs into Lydden recently, heard them before I saw them. Then the local bad boys (crows) had a go at them and sent them packing home.

I've often seen those bright green parakeets in London.
Thanet is another area where they're seen.
I'm at work in Sandwich and they are suddenly very noticeable, are they seen at all in Dover?

We have a full garden of wild life great to sit out in my bunker watching them all feed on what we put out for them.

We saw two parakeets on the hill between Tower Hamlets and Buckland Hospital a couple of years ago, but have no photographic proof.
