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
