Den lilla kungligheten, akvarell, 17x12 cm

De här små fåglarna (kungsfågel, Regulus regulus) får mig alltid att le när jag ser dem. Ibland ser jag i ögonvrån hur någonting fladdrar runt brand grangrenarna, och det är nog för att misstänka att det är dem. Andra gånger kan det vara deras sång som säger mig att de är där. När jag var liten lärde min pappa mig att de är Sveriges minsta fågel. Sedan dess har den ännu mindre brandkronade kungsfågeln, Regulus ignicapilla, börjat att häcka här, vilket gör kungsfågeln till den näst minsta fågeln i Sverige.

The little royalty, watercolour, 17x12 cm These little birds (goldcrest, Regulus regulus) always make me smile when I see them. Sometimes I see something fluttering around among the branches of a spruce tree, and that's enough to suspect it's them. Other times it's their song that tells me they're there. When I was little I was taught by my dad that they're the smallest bird in Sweden. Since then the even smaller common firecrest, Regulus ignicapilla, is also found nesting here, making the goldcrest the second smallest bird in Sweden.

TIL about this adorably grumpy-looking little bird called a gold crest. It’s teeny-tiny and lives in Europe and Asia.

And … AND its scientific name is Regulus regulus, which makes me wonder why it has never turned up in any Harry Potter fanfic I’ve ever read. I can’t imagine how it could be worked into a story, but surely somebody out there can do it.

This little fellow came and allowed himself to be picked up by my grand-daughter. He seemed quite happy and flew away afterwards.
