I saw this rarity yesterday in Bremen, Germany.

The best description I found at the British Trust for Ornithology

 

Ring Ouzel is a breeding bird of rocky slopes and high moorland. Its nominate race breeds in Ireland and Britain and along the mountain spine of Scandinavia from southern Norway to the Kola Peninsula in northwest Russia. In Britain it has a patchy and diminishing range from Dartmoor to northwest Scotland. These birds winter mainly in southern Spain and the Atlas Mountains of North Africa. Migrating Ring Ouzels, many of them from Scandinavia, are frequently seen in Britain well into November, sometimes in company with Redwings and Fieldfares, but are then mostly absent until the first breeders return in late March. Spring passage is noted mainly in April and early May.

Another race, alpestris, breeds along Europe's main watersheds from northern Spain through the Alps to the Appennines, Balkans and Carpathians, and a third race, amicorum, in Turkey, the Caucasus and western Kazakhstan.
