Turdus torquatus
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The ring ouzel is the blackbird of the European high mountains: brownish black with a striking white crescent on the breast and pale-fringed wing feathers. It breeds in the Pyrenees, the Cantabrian Mountains and the mountains of central and northern Europe, always above or at the edge of the treeline. In winter much of the European population comes down to the juniper woods of southern Spain and the Atlas, where it feeds almost entirely on juniper berries.
