Cassie, I grew up in Staines and I know the area you mean.They breed on Penton Hook island. They also fly around here in Windsor and we do get the odd ones in the garden. They strip the apples from the trees during the summer and make a hell of a noise gut it is nice to see them. I guess with global warming we will be seeing more tropical birds in our county.
