This is the second installment of a three-part series on this topic.
The first to appear there was a Goldcrest. What a diligently and frequently moving bird
around!
The goldcrest (Regulus regulus) is a very small passerine bird in the kinglet family. Its colorful golden crest feathers, as well as being called the "king of the birds" in European folklore, give rise to its English and scientific names. The scientific name, R. regulus, means king or knight.[2] Several subspecies are recognized across the very large distribution range that includes much of the Palearctic and the islands of Macaronesia and Iceland. Birds from the north and east of its breeding range migrate to winter further south.(Cited from Wikipedia)
