cesy and alexwlchan :) - A spotted a jay!
- A also spotted a jackdaw going into a tree; we both watched it come back out
- PARAKEETS. doing lots of excellent bouncing around and flaring their tails so we got to appreciate the yellow on the underside!
- GOSLINGS (Egyptian; seven)
- went up to the walkway in the Temperate House
- excellent trumpet-y flowers in the Temperate House, the name of which I singularly failed to obtain (Brugmansia sanguinea, I think)
- tiiiiiiny hot pink pine cones, on a tree near the Araucaria and the Wollemi, whose name I also failed to obtain
- Euphorbia candelabrum! ... although none of the images I can find online look like the (clearly-labelled) thing I took a photo of, so perhaps I will see if I can tweak the photograph to the point of usefulness rather than simply aide memoire
- spring springing all over the place: the carpets of crocuses and scilla, and the various trees covered in flowers, the green in the process of bursting forth. :)

Do you get parakeets near home? We used to in Leyton. (We do in Sheffield, too, but fewer.)

Yep! Lots down in the park and at the allotment, and we occasionally see them up on top of the hill also :-)

I get a jay visiting the garden most summers, such an intelligent looking bird!
