Possibly, but there have been sporadic sightings for at least 10 years within the city. I remember hearing of 3 (or 4) at Gardyne College some years ago but can't find details of the actual record. Comments on Facebook suggest they are still at Gardyne College & sightings in Barnhill (same birds?).

There was one seemingly lost in Douglas in 2024. Another from Kirriemuir in recent weeks but it appears to be a male. Might try to find out more about the apparent Dundee population size.

They are also seen in Barnhill apparently. Has the aviary lost any birds?

Checked missing pets page on FB first. Gonna keep trying to add something else so I get 150 even if the Parakeet isnβt counted.

By sounds of things they are already here - though numbers are still low. I remember a report of 3 or 4 at Gardyne College from probably 6 or 7 years ago but nothing after that, until researching todayβs sighting, where I found FB comment saying there are βsomeβ still there (& Barnhill). Same birds?

Red-throated Diver off Beach Crescent, Broughty Ferry this morning. Took my 2025Dundee150 list to 149 with a Long-tailed Duck a bit later. Also had a possible Slavonian Grebe but very distant & pics are abysmal.

Found a Waxwing today - at Eastern Cemetery, Dundee. Except it wasnβt perched there when I raised camera to photograph the 2 Mistle Thrushes and I didnβt notice it until looking through photos later at home! Thankfully I found 1 on Saturday so not seeing this 1 wasnβt a big deal. #BirdingScotland
