Alpine Accentor

It lives on rocky mountain slopes and can reach an altitude of up to 2,200 metres. They are 18 centimetres in size and, like all accentors, are wary and “clumsy” when walking. They breed from May to June in a nest they make on the ground among rocks or vegetation. They feed mainly on insects, and in winter, when food is scarce, they supplement their diet with berries and seeds.
