THIS IS NOT LISTED ON ANY OTHER GEOCACHING SITE

The cache is a double-potted container around 18m up a large oak tree, near the top, with views over the canopy.

You will need to use climbing equipment to reach it.

While in these woods in daylight you will almost certainly hear, if not see, several parakeets.

The ring-necked, or rose-ringed, parakeet is the UK's most abundant naturalised parrot - it became established in the wild in the 1970s after captive birds escaped or were released. 

Jimi Hendrix allegedly released a pair of Parakeets in Carnaby Street in the 1960's.

It is a well-known resident of the greater London area, roosting communally in large flocks. The population has been increasing steadily, though it remains concentrated in south-east England. Birds are regularly reported elsewhere in Britain, and are likely to be local escapees.

The ring-necked parakeet's native range is a broad belt of arid tropical countryside stretching from west Africa across lowland India south of the Himalayas, where it is a common bird.

Despite their tropical origin, parakeets are able to cope with the cold British winters, especially in suburban parks, large gardens, and orchards, where food supply is more reliable. They feed on a wide variety of fruit, berries, nuts, seeds, grain and household scraps. Parakeets are colourful and frequent visitors to bird tables and garden feeders, particularly during the winter months.
