This ring-necked Parakeet has just started visiting our garden, it makes a change from sparrows and pigeons!
This was a bit of a rushed shot, I had to grab my camera and take the shot through the patio window handheld without a tripod.
Hopefully, it will re-visit the garden and I'll have time to get a better shot. Many people are surprised that there are several breeding populations of Ring-necked Parakeets in south-eastern England, centred on south & west London and Thanet (Kent).

What an excellent shot even though it's through a window. I'm sometimes amazed at the shots I can get through my windows of the sparrows doing the bird bath thing out back of my house (of course, that is provided I've cleaned them recently :-) Here's to hoping he decides to make your garden a frequent stop and to the wild Parakeets health in the UK! Cheers sir!

For all that transpired to capture this gorgeous bird, you did well!! He did pose very nicely for you. :) Hope he does come back, I'll look forward to more shots!
