Tweet Take 5 : Ring Ouzel

Available for over a year

Closely related to the common blackbird, the ring ouzel is a rare summer visitor to the British Isles. Wintering in North Africa, the best chances of seeing one here is as they make a stop over on their migration to breed in the mountains of Scotland or the uplands of north and west of England and Wales.
