RE: Greater Manchester Ring-necked Parakeets


5 Parakeets seen in Kersal Dale today opposite the river Irwell in Salford. At dusk I saw 23 parakeets in trees opposite Salford uni on the bend of the River Irwell. Never seen so many here before.

A rather noisy bird was sat opposite the house earlier this afternoon. It then relocated to a neighbour's garden where it continued calling before flying away.

A flock of 19-20 flew just a few meters above my head as I stood on Hilltop, Romiley at 3:30 pm. I watched them into the distance where they appeared to drop down into the Bredbury Industrial estate. Maybe a roost there?

West of GM in Warrington, going from around 2018 seeing birds a few times a year (typically around Victoria Park, Walton Hall, Appleton Reservoirs) I am now seeing birds weekly in North Appleton (13 being the highest single group in an Orchard) / along the Bridgewater Canal to Lymm, Walton Hall Gardens and there were even groups down at Moore Nature reserve for a couple of weeks in Spring.
