Ring-necked Parakeet
13 Jan 2012
The map of Ring-necked Parakeet records in 2011 highlights the two longest-established populations, in Greater London and Kent, whilst also revealing a scattering of observations from elsewhere in Britain. Although not always popular with birdwatchers, records of (free-flying) non-native birds help us monitor the growth and spread of populations of such species. BirdTrack welcomes records of feral breeders like Ring-necked Parakeet, as well as sightings of species that may establish self-sustaining populations in future, like Black Swan and Bar-headed Goose.
