Meanings
-
Turdus torquatus, a European thrush, similar to the common blackbird, but with a ring of white feathers at its neck.
Some birds seem to belong to all scenery alike; others love only the waste common land, the stream, or the sea-shore; while a third division, οἱ εκλετόι (the elect), are only to be found in one or two favoured counties in the whole of England. Of these last are the Ring-Ouzels.

Trollope, “The Haunt of the Ring-Ouzel (Turdus torquatus)”, in The Zoologist^(https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:The_Zoologist,_4th_series,_vol_3_(1899).djvu/433), volume 3, page 403f:In recording my observations on the Ring-Ouzel (Turdus torquatus), I have no expectation of writing anything original. But I think it possible that personal notes on this interesting bird may be acceptable to those ornithologists who are less familiar with it than I am.
