It is the mountain equivalent of the closely-related Common Blackbird, and breeds in gullies, rocky areas or scree slopes. It breeds in the higher regions of western and central Europe and also in the Caucasus. Most populations are migratory, wintering in the Mediterranean region. The Ring Ouzel is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms, rodents, lizards and berries. More

In Germany the Ring Ouzel can only rarely be found outside the alps.

The alpine subspecies alpestris occurs above 1000 m asl and is associated with the tree limit. More
