2 pairs of Rose-ringed Parakeets in The Knoll. Each pair occupying a tree. One pair seeing off a Squirrel from their tree.

I have recorded 3 Marsh Tits since I restarted on the patch a few weeks ago, each in a different part of Banstead Woods. They are louder than the other tits, so less likely to be overlooked.
