    We have hundreds of them here in SE London. I see them daily, sometimes just one, sometimes a flock, and hear them more often. Sometimes they're the only birds you can hear. I posted a thread about them some time ago.  I'll see if I can find it and bump it up, it had some links on it I think.

  • My son had them when he lived in the Canary Wharf area and my Uncle ,who lives in Hampton also gets regular visits from them too.

    I believe they have been seen in Sheffield.

    I remember it always used to be said they would just die in the wild, Nature is much more clever than that.

    They are wild they come from a warmer country.



    Thanks guysimage

    Logan, I've not seen any, nor heard anyone mention a sighting.  Not far from you in Kingswinford by Stourbridge and Dudley.
