How to determine
Ring Ouzels are barely smaller and slimmer than a Blackbird. Males have distinctive black plumage with a pale wing panel and putting white breast band. The Ring Ouzel is generally an upland fowl, the place it breeds in steep sided-valleys, crags and gullies, from close to sea stage within the far north of Scotland as much as 1,200m within the Cairngorms.
Breeding begins in mid-April and continues by way of to mid-July, with two broods frequent. Nests are positioned on or near the bottom in vegetation (sometimes in heather), in a crevice, or typically in a tree. The young are fed a weight-reduction plan of primarily earthworms and beetles.
