Ah - I remember at the time I photographed it pondering whether it was an
Alexandrine or Ringneck - but didn't get any responses. I've just reviewed
my photos and some shots do show a red-ish wing patch, and the bill size is
quite robust, so maybe the bird in my photos is an Alexandrine?
I've added another photo showing the red on the wing:

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
