The big late summer build-up of moulting Mallard does the trick in attracting other species, and when the Wigeon arrive in numbers they draw in other species too. Garganey is a real red letter bird for me. Just love 'em! As for the parakeets there are still only small numbers (max nine I think) but if they've bred successfully this year that'll go up. Glad you live a distance away from the roost! All the best.

Shame you don't get Garganey in the spring when they look wonderful.<br /><br />I have a roost of over 1000 Ring-necked Parakeets about a mile from home- quite impressive as they leave. Just glad I don't live next to it!Conehead54https://www.blogger.com/profile/18423862602236191493noreply@blogger.com
