The Goldcrest's flashier cousin, with a white eyebrow and a brighter crown. Delivers in higher resolution.
- Populasi
- Roughly 10-15 million individuals, mostly across Europe
- Habitat
- Broadleaf and mixed forest (favoring cork oak and alder where available, otherwise beech and holly) and coniferous woodland; also parks and gardens, from lowlands up to about 2,800 m elevation
- Fakta menarik
- The Firecrest is tied with its close relative the Goldcrest as the smallest bird in Europe, at around 9 cm long, yet the male reveals a hidden orange (versus the female's yellow) crest stripe bordered in black during courtship and territorial displays; the oldest ringed individual on record lived just over 4 years.
