It is essentially like a small-bodied, large-headed leaf warbler but with narrow white wing bars and a distinctive head pattern. The narrow yellow or orange stripe along the top of the crown is neatly edged with black. The pale ring around the dark eye gives the Goldcrest an open-faced, staring expression.

Breeds and winters in coniferous woodlands, occuring in deciduous woodland, scrub and even gardens in winter.

A common resident bird throughout most of Britain, favouring coniferous woodland, but also found in other habitats. Extremely common on migration on the east and south coasts.

Breeds commonly in coniferous woodland throughout north and central Europe but in southern Europe is restricted to mountainous areas.

560 000 territories estimated for Britain and a further 300 000 for Ireland. In winter some continental visitors arrive and the total number of birds can reach 2-4 million.

9-12 million breeding pairs, mostly across northern Europe with scattered populations in southern Europe.

Excellent catch of this very little bird, very good colours and quality, how far was this bird?
I see that you had very difficult light for this picture.

A well detailed capture considering this was shot at 1600 ISO, the chest and under feathers look very grey, the ones here that I have seen recently are more off white/beige.
A lovely capture of the crest, well done.

Remarkable picture, especially considering how difficult it is simply to observe, not to say capture a pic of this tiny bird! Excellent job.

This is a very lovely bird, Ozkan. Good detail and POV. I had never heard of it before now and it does look very tiny. TFS

Good shot Ozkan. Feather detail is superb. What a pretty little bird. Nice marking on the top of the head. Excellent sharpness. Very good OOF BG. Nice work. TFS

Halo!
I love your prety, grey beauty!
Wonderful photo and great pose!

A beautiful capture though bad light conditions. Colours and DOf are excellent. Well done. TFS.

Composition, colors are splendid and exposure is excellent. Perfect sharpness. Very well done.

Very nice shot - shows the distinctive characteristic of this bird very well. You dealt with the noise problem of ISO 1600 very well - sharpening only slightly visible around the beak, and aviding the plastic feel that NI sometimes gives when over-applied.

Dizilere şarkılara adını veren bu sevimli yumurcak senin objektifinle can bulmuş.Tebrikler çok güzel.Favorilerimde yerini aldı bile..

What a wonderful portrait of this sweet little bird! How lucky that you were able to get such a clear and well defined shot! Marvellous detail, and glad you included the leaf litter as it compliments the colours of the bird. Very well done! Thanks for posting!

wonderful picture of this very small and elusive bird - definitley worth 2 points

excellent well taken
