XXL KING OUZEL. 



(T urdus torquatus.} 



KING OUZELS breed in considerable numbers on the hills of 

 Moidart. A number of them come at early morning usually and 

 attack the gooseberries in our garden at Eoshven. They all 

 disappear about the end of September. The drawing is from 

 one caught alive after it had been wounded. The mountain ash 

 berries (or rowans), which the bird is represented eating, are a 

 favourite food.
