An addition to this post.  A friend asked me yesterday if there were parakeets in Frome, since his wife had seen one eating apples in their garden a week ago. We have many human ‘blow-ins’ from London in Frome, and seems like we also have avian ones!

One heard and possibly 3 glimpsed through trees as they flew away this morning.  Things rosier after Brexit???  Or should I keep politics out of this?
