My 150th species from within Dundee this year - a surprise find in Eastern Cemetery this morning on my way out to Broughty Ferry and Balmossie - a Ring-necked Parakeet. It turns out there are 'some' of these birds present in grounds of Gardyne College (0.5miles from EC).

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 wasn’t perched there when I raised camera to photograph the 2 Mistle Thrushes and I didn’t notice it until looking through photos later at home! Thankfully I found 1 on Saturday so not seeing this 1 wasn’t a big deal. #BirdingScotland
