Plums are ripening all around our goat enclosure and the fruits are attracting a host of wildlife. You’ll hear the noisy chatter of starlings and squawking of parakeets as they feed overhead on a feast of plums. Squirrels are also making the most of the fruits and you may catch a wood pigeon awkwardly trying to navigate its way through the branches. It’s a great opportunity to get a close look at some of these creatures, who might otherwise be a bit shy, including the Monk Parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus), a non-native species established locally here on the Isle of Dogs.
