The Ring Ouzel.

I was just wondering today if any of the birdwatchers on here see Ring Ouzels at all. I know they were getting rarer and I haven't seen one since I was up in Teesdale a few years ago. As I said, just wondering.

Their reduction in numbers in the UK has been noted, and they're now on the red endangered list...

I knew they were on the Red List heathfield, that was really the reason for my question. That link is brilliant, thanks so much. I followed it onto the Bird Guide and then Recent Sightings and although rare they do seem to be spread over quite a wide are of the UK. That link is going to be bookmarked and I shall have a delve again to see if we know why they are declining as it only seems to be here and not on the continent.
