Parakeet numbers have soared in London over the last two decades and they can now be found across the wider south east, especially large parts of Kent, Surrey and Sussex. There are also populations in Manchester, Birmingham and Oxford, with reports in Edinburgh too. There are suggestions their numbers are increasing at up to 30 per cent a year, and estimates have put their population at up to 50,000. They originate from the foothills of the Himalayas, and exactly how they came to be released here is genuinely unknownPicture: Rupert HartleyA stag pops his head out of the undergrowth in a snowy Richmond ParkA stag pops his head out of the undergrowth in a snowy Richmond Park, south west LondonPicture: LNPMembers of the Household Cavalry exercise their horses in a snowy Hyde ParkMembers of the Household Cavalry exercise their horses in a snowy Hyde ParkPicture: i-ImagesLight snow outside the Houses of Parliament, London, as parts of Britain woke up to a blanket of snowLight snow outside the Houses of Parliament, London, as parts of Britain woke up to a blanket of snowPicture: Anthony Devlin/PAA rare sighting of snow in central LondonA rare sighting of snow in central LondonPicture: WENN
