Hamstreet in the parish of Orlestone is on the edge of the Romney Marsh. The main aim of this blog is to record the birds that I see in my garden,in Hamstreet and the surrounding area. As my knowledge grows other fauna and flora will be recorded. I also travel around Kent to look at birds and will post some of my sightings/trips.

Ring-Necked Parakeet
Walked up the garden this morning to sort my chickens out heard bird calling flying towards me. As soon as I heard it I thought I knew what it was and then as it flew over my head I was right, a Ring Neck Parakeet, it flew along my road and landed in some trees 10-12 houses down. This is a first siting for me in Kent outside of the Thanet and Sidcup area. Strangely enough I have not seen one this year until this week, and now 2 in 3 days as one flew over my head on Thursday when I was in Feltham.
I assume that this is just a single bird but will now be keeping an eye out for any more.
