Dozens of Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri) now live in Greenwich Park (and other wooded places in South London). One pair has found a nesting hole in this sycamore tree. The birds are well camouflaged: only its red beak gives it away in this photo and I would not have seen it had it not flown into the tree as I watched.
