Description
Europe's smallest bird is reluctant to sit still, but is still quite easy to spot in small groups up in conifers. Both the yellow-orange crown on the head and the high notes of the song reveal it. In many languages, the word king or crown is included in its name.
The body shape is round, with a short pointed beak and tail. The body is gray-green, except for the golden crown and two white bands on the wings with a black belt in between. The stripe at the top of the head is orange and yellow on the male and only yellow on the female. It weighs 5–6 grams.
The common firecrest is very similar but has a white eyebrow streak, which the goldcrest doesn’t have.
A high-frequency thin sound that repeats in the same tone distinguishes both vocals and contact sounds.
The goldcrest feeds on insects, such as aphids and caterpillars, that it finds high up in the canopy.
The nest, which is round with an opening at the top, is built of moss, lichen, and cobwebs and is placed high in a coniferous tree.
All of Europe, all the way to the Ural Mountains. Happy to move south in Winter, but some stay in northern Scandinavia. They appear in some places in Asia as far east as the Pacific Ocean.
