- Goldcrest (Regulus regulus): Brightly coloured crest feathers give this tiny 8.5cm (3.3in) bird its name. It is Europe's smallest bird and is also found in parts of Asia. A member of the Kinglet family. Lovely shot taken by Stephen Winfield in the UK. #goldcrest #bird #birds #wildlife #natureJan 19, 2026 05:57
