The Tenerife Goldcrest Regulus regulus teneriffae (sometimes considered a separate species, R. teneriffae) is a very small passerine bird in the kinglet family, closely resembling the Goldcrest but with a broader black band across the forehead, slightly darker underparts and a longer bill. It breeds in the eastern Canary Islands of Tenerife and La Gomera, where it is a non-migratory resident. It prefers Canary Island Pine forests, but also occurs in laurisilva forests.

The populations on La Palma and El Hierro, previously thought to belong to this taxon, are now recognized as a distinct (sub)species, the Western Canary Islands Goldcrest R. (r.) ellenthalerae (Päckert et al., 2006), which evolved apparently from independent colonizations of the islands.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Regulidae
Genus: Regulus
Species: R. regulus
Subspecies: R. r. teneriffae

TFS Michel

Bueno Victor, ya vuelves a las andadas y a mostrarnos bellezas Canarias y buenos trabajos. La foto parece como movida en el fondo y eso le da un toque bonito. La composición es excelente y la pose muy buena. Como no soy técnico no se definirlo o que es, pero se ve algo de "neblina" en toda la toma; por lo demás estupenda.

Saludos y buen fin de semana: J. Ignasi

Wow!
Fantastic shot of this little bird, a species that is difficult to capture as I imagine that R. teneriffae is just as active as our species in Sweden. Great sharpness, BG and colours.
Bravo!
Saludos, Victor,

Hola Víctor.
Pensaba que Tenerife era una República bananera aparte, occidental y todo eso pero bananera...y hete aquí un monarca, casi ná, como celebrando el 12 de Octubre.
Precioso pajarillo y fantástica pose.
Un saludo y hasta pronto, JL.

Hola Vicma, lovely little bird with splendid colors, elegant presentation, very well done, ciao Silvio

A fabulous shot of this lovely bird, the detail in the plumage and colours are great.
He/She looks curious :)
Well done
Cecilia

Interesting bird species, Vicma.
The subject being seemingly very small, you have done a good job with your long lens despite a little blur in the tail part of the bird.
TFS and take care.

Hi Vicma.
What a cute bird has been pictured at so fine scenery. I like it a lot. Location of the charming twigs, tenderness and pleasantness of the BG are impress the imagination. Bravo and TFS.
Alexei.

Those little ones are not easy to photograph Vicma. They just can't stop moving everywhere :)! We have similar specie here as well and I love them but I never managed to take a decent picture of them! This is a nice POV with good details and colors. I just wonder about this sort of veil on the image but this is nothing for such a nice and sweet capture. Well done and TFS,

Bonjour Vicma,
Quelle belle lumière pour cette image! Et le petit oiseau est adorable, perché sur ce pin entouré de branches. Magnifique composition, un bonheur pour les yeux.
Merci de tout coeur

Hello Vicma,

Wonderful shot of this little bird! Its expression looks like that of a small child on the top diving board, it is such along way down! I like the way the sunshine is catching its feathers and the lovely soft b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Many thanks for your kind comments on 'Fiery Farewell'.

Hola Vicma,
very nice shot. Your subspecies is different ours. I have not seen this species (not subspecies) for a long time. I hope in near future.
The composition, POV, focus very nice.
saludos, gracias.
PS: I will be in Malaga in next week. Maybe I will visit Tenerifae also.

Hola Victor. Muy hermoso este pequeño Pajarillo posado en las ramas de un Pino. Me agrada mucho el color de su plumaje. La foto en si es muy nitida, con exelente cantidad de iluminacion. Saludos Luis52. Ps. La nota escrita en Ingles es muy buena, ya veo que tu tambien tienes conocimiento en este idioma. Luis Leal.

Hello Victor,
Good details in the plumage, and a bit different but attractive pose!
Seems like he is focused on something below, as he is sitting in his favourite evergreen...
A well composed presentation of this cute little fellow!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Bonsoir Vicma,

Felicidades y un fuerte abrazo.

Hi Vicma, what a nice and unusual shot of the Goldcrest. It is so nice to see the face full on with those well lit eyes. I love the pov and the natural setting with perfect dof. The bird is nice and sharp showing great detail, good light and colour.

Hi Victor,
very pleasantly soft fairytale atmosphere in this very well approached, well composed portrait the endemic Teneriffa Goldcrest. Exquisite light colours. Thank you!
