Things you see




Local resident David Taylor sent me pictures of two birds seen in Ashton recently.

I know from my trips to London that the green parrot can be frequently seen in the parks making a tremendous screeching noise but I was surprised to see this picture of one in Ashton -it must be very hard.

One story about how the green parrot became common in London was that the late great Jimi Hendrix released a pair into the wild around 1968 and they flourished from that time.
