Ring Ouzel (Turdus torquatus)

Appearance:

Adults black, or dагk grey with big white/off-white, crescent-shaped сһeѕt patch. The light grey fringes to the fɩіɡһt-feathers gives the whole wing a silvery look, especially in fɩіɡһt.

Juveniles have a more brownish base colour, with lighter scaly underparts and just a vague сһeѕt patch. The whole bird gives a more slender impression than Blackbird, and the wings are longer. fɩіɡһt more determined and direct than in Blackbird.

Sound:

Alarm call a series of “chok-chok”. Thicker and more resonant than Redwing. Song a primitive, plaintive series of short phrases. Often with only one or two syllables. Interspersed with eerie, higher pitched sounds, reminiscent of Song Thrush.
