Hello Malcolm

Just found your blog tonight and makes interesting reading.

Even more so, because I am ashamed to say I have lived very close to MHP for almost 7 years and hardly ever gone in there.

However, that will soon change after reading about all the sorts of wildlife and birds which live in there.

I have a question though which has puzzled me for a while. Since I live close by (on Arras Avenue), I hear and see approx 20 parakeets fly over my house on a morning (more noticably at weekends as that's when I'm in) between say 6am and 8am, probably flying in a SW direction, and then in the evening they return, perhaps about 5 to 7pm. When it gets lighter I guess it will be a little later.

Is there a reason for this do you know? quite interesting also is that 6 of them occasionally roost in my apple tree - not always 6 though, could be 3 or 4 sometimes.

Thanks for the blog.

Nick
