I agree, Andrew's bird photographed is an Alexandrine. Andrew is the bird in
the photo definitely the same as the flock of three, or were they Indian
Ringnecks. 
Ian what did you see at Research and Rosanna? Alexandrines or Indian
Ringnecks?.
I have never heard of flocks before, this is disturbing and needs to be
followed up. 

Cheers Jeff.

Ive  seen them too andrew although not  recently  around  Research and a
single bird which i suspected had  "naturalised "  in Rosanna  ( them being
alexandrines ) slightly different bird to  the ones in croydon though   hope
fully  some one else will go have a sticky beak and confirm  the sighting .
My camera isn't good enough to pin them down in the tree tops
