Hi,

The sparrow population in England has collapsed in recent years.
Perhaps they all evolved into something exotic and we never noticed.

Don't be silly, Bob. There's no such thing as evolution.
Opps, sorry. Perhaps they were all intelligently redesigned.

Great shot. They appear to be parakeets or some near relative of the
same. i'm surprised that you find them in London.

Nice catch! Fortunate general lighting, to say the

Hi,
Seems like some people will never understand the risks of introducing

These days, in Bergen, they are hunting for four racoons. Illegally
imported as pets and currently on the run...:-)

Not heard of any records from London before.
