Where to spot
Breeds in mountainous and upland regions across Europe and parts of Asia, including Scandinavia, the Alps, and the Caucasus. It migrates to winter in the Mediterranean basin and North Africa.
How to spot
Look for them in open, rocky habitats with scattered trees or bushes. Listen for its melancholic, fluting song, which is simpler and more repetitive than that of the Common Blackbird.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season from spring to late summer in its upland habitats. During migration, they can be seen at lower altitudes in more varied landscapes.

Often referred to as the 'mountain blackbird', the Ring Ouzel is unique among European thrushes for its strong preference for high, open moorland, rocky outcrops, and sub-alpine scrub.
