Parakeets are noisy buggers. My local park is chock full of them.

Both Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer here in this corner of East Cambs. The little sh*ts come here into the garden at Casa Reynard to eat my roses and my parsley. One of these days, they *will* end up enrobed in pastry...
There are supposedly some parakeets in the next village along to me, but I've never seen any.

Wallabies are surprising or maybe not surprisingly common in the wild in the UK. They hop out of wildlife parks etc and thrive very well. I cycled past on by the roadside close to Whipsnade the other week.
We also have a local parakeet colony, founded by some escapees, fortunately out of earshot of my village, but they are noisy buggers.

They are amazingly destructive. I get Roe deer as well. Most of the time you can see a couple grazing in my garden destroying fruit trees. With no natural predators their populations grow to damaging levels. They don't seem to like walnut trees nor Holm Oaks.
Back when I was studying somebody on the course used to work in one of the Estate parks managing deer which also includes culling numbers and they'd have frequent culls meaning we'd have parties in the summer there emptying the freezers of venison.

That's a slightly older sighting.

Perhaps a slightly older sasquatch?

Maybe a younger one, or new to the area.

Pumas definitely sighted in the Grizedale Forest and south to Cartmel, less certain on the Furness peninsula.

To have a viable breeding population you need at least 30-40 individuals able to interact.
The Scottish wild cat is struggling despite being helped by conservation teams so it’s almost impossible to imagine other animal populations existing unseen.
It’s one of many reason why Nessie can’t possibly exist. Same with big foot.
And why big cats are unlikely to be breeding in UK.
There may be a few escaped lone cats out there.

Parakeets and wallabies are well over that threshold.
The threshold doesn't apply to Nessies and Big foots, nor any other mythical creatures, they thrive very well in the minds of those who wish to see them....

They are at that. Roe deer here too.
The butcher in town sells locally-sourced wild venison. AFAIK you can shoot Muntjac all year round, but only in hours of daylight.
