Description Another picture of the Goldcrest (Regulus regulus). The bird was looking down in search for some bugs to eat. The Goldcrest is the smallest songbird in my country. He only measures 9 cm but he's a very active bird in gardens and woods.

yes, I did. But the best thing was that this bird stayed before my lens for almost 15 minutes. The hardest part was to capture a nice composition because this little thing kept moving quickly from the left to the right, it couldn't sit still for a second.

Het is een goudhaantje. Dit is het kleinste vogeltje in Belgiรซ (0.5 cm kleiner dan het winterkoninkje). Het is zomer en winter te horen in de bossen, maar ook meer en meer in tuinen. Het valt echter zelden op (te klein hรฉ.

mja ik zie veel klein vogeltjes vliegen van her naar der
Maar dat is inderdaad zeer klein en ik maar denken dat het de Tjif Tjaf was
