A drawing of a Common firecrest. The little bird sits on a diagonal branch with green leaves. You can see the bird a little from above so you can see its back well. In the background, in soft light blue, you can see a structure of small down feathers that are just rendered large. This is quite subtle and not immediately noticeable. The scene was drawn in Pro create, a digital drawing programme. The firecrest grows to 9 to 10 cm and is slightly larger than the closely related goldcrest, which is the smallest European bird species. The fire goldcrest is very similar to the goldcrest. Notable differences are the white eye stripe and a different sound.[2] Its plumage has a grey-green upper surface, a light grey underside and a black and white eye stripe. The female has a yellow crest, the male an orange crest (which, however, is only clearly visible when the bird puts on its crest feathers), around which there is a black band.
