MGOLDCRESTM
(Regulus regulus)
A Goldcrest poses inquisitively on an oak branch in the Czech Republic.  Goldcrests are very small passerine birds in the kinglet family.   The bird's colourful golden crest feathers indicate the possibility of it having been called the "King of the birds" in European folklore.
