Definición y Significado de "ring ouzel"

What is a "ring ouzel"?

A ring ouzel is a species of thrush found in mountainous areas across Europe and Asia. It is slightly smaller than a blackbird, with distinctive black plumage with a striking white collar around its neck. The male and female birds are similar in appearance, but the male's plumage is slightly darker. These birds breed in upland areas during the summer months and migrate to lower elevations during the winter. They are primarily insectivorous but also feed on fruits and berries during the autumn months when they are available. The Ring Ouzel is known for its melodious, flute-like song, often heard echoing across the mountainous landscape. Despite being widespread, populations of this species have declined in some areas due to habitat loss and disturbance.
