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.

Hello Vicma,
How interesting to see this little Tenerife Goldcrest with a broad black band on the head! This is a beautiful composition and you've caught it in a lovely pose showing details very clearly and the colours are beautiful. Its feet seem very bright orange too! Well done!!
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

It resembles a silent active child of conifer forests, i hope the sub(species) can survive along with the pine forests. Hope is the meal of the poor they say here. Nonetheless, the spreading of the protection efforts may help.

Hi Vicma,

I think this is the first time I have seen this cute bird. A wonderful capture with beautiful colors and razor sharp details. The face, wings and plummage are superb. I love the colors on top of his head. A wonderful pose and a lovely setting.

Hola Amigo,
this a very good picture of your Tenerife Goldceast, it's a bit different from ours but it's lovely.
Well composed with good POV and nice colours.
Great work.
Best greetings to you family.

BTW.
It was not good to return home, we have been in bed with
the flu and fever for 3-4 days now. ;-(
We feel a lot better today.
