Unlike the flbird, the ring ouzel is usually wary and wild, shunning the neighbourhood of human habitation.

 Ring Ouzel
Up until 2003, Ring Ouzel occurrences at Eakring were restricted to a 13 day period from the middle of April onwards, a general trend which fits in well with that of Wheatear arrivals - another early arriving migrant.
Ring Ouzels have proved to be much rarer in Nottinghamshire during the Autumn.
Quite surprisingly and despite the scarcity of migrant Ring Ouzels, this male flying north over Eakring Flash at 7:57am, was my first ever individual to be recorded visibly on passage in ten years visible migration watching.

The Ring Ouzel eats insects such as worms, and, when insects are not available, it may take fruits such as berries or grapes.
Ring Ouzels generally wait until weather is clear before attempting to move from one migratory range to another, this goes on until they nest.
In captivity, Ring Ouzels should be fed foods that are close to their natural diet, such as insects, supplemented with the occasional berry or grape as a treat.

Last year, your tremendous support helped two pairs of Ring Ouzels nest successfully on the Edge and we are asking for your help again this breeding season.
Stanage is particularly important for the bird as it is on the south-eastern edge of their main British range and the loss of this breeding site could mean a further permanent contraction of their breeding area.

Mountain Blackbird is a common enough term for the Ring Ouzel, as these thrushes are the mountain cousin of the regular Blackbird.
Would think it unlikely to encounter Ring Ouzel in such groups, though possibly a family group if your sighting was a couple of months ago.
You can get Ring Ouzels in groups at times, particularly if there is a good food source to attract them.

Ring Ouzels were widely distributed through upland areas of Britain and much of Ireland, but not Shetland or the Outer Hebrides, a hundred years ago.
However a dramatic and progressive decline set in and the birds retreated to the remotest uplands.
The declines are blamed on forestry, disturbance by walkers, agricultural improvement and the Ring Ouzel losing out to Blackbird and Mistle Thrush established before the migrants return in spring.

Doesn't seem to have been publicised as much as the Stanage restriction (if at all) but there is currently a climbing restriction in force at Hen Cloud for the Ring Ouzel, until 1st July.
We were informed of this by one of the National Park Rangers at the top of the crag (oops!) - in fairness to us the sign saying the ban is in force is pretty much invisible if you come from the Roaches Tea House side.
