Goldcrest

Limited Edition Giclée Print (200)

This exquisite artwork captures the delicate charm of the Goldcrest (Regulus regulus), Europe’s smallest bird and one of the most enchanting visitors to our woodlands. Perched lightly on a slender branch, the Goldcrest is rendered with remarkable precision—its golden crown stripe edged with black, soft olive-green upperparts, and pale underparts all beautifully detailed. The bird’s large dark eye and rounded shape give it a lively, inquisitive character, perfectly captured in this lifelike portrait.

In the wild, Goldcrests inhabit coniferous forests, mixed woodlands, gardens, and parkland across Britain and Europe. Despite their tiny size—barely weighing more than a 2p coin—they are resilient and active, flitting tirelessly among spruce and fir branches in search of insects, spiders, and larvae. Their high, thin calls are often heard before they are seen, and during cold winters they sometimes join flocks of tits for safety and warmth. The Goldcrest’s endurance has earned it a special place in folklore as a symbol of courage and vitality.

Produced to the highest standards as a Limited Edition of 200 Giclée prints, each piece is created using archival pigment inks on fine art paper, ensuring vivid colour and long-lasting quality. Every print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist, with a certificate of authenticity included, making it an exclusive addition for collectors of wildlife and fine art.

Perfect for bird lovers, woodland enthusiasts, and art collectors, the Goldcrest print celebrates the quiet resilience and beauty of this tiny but spirited bird.

Poetic Note

So small in size, yet brave of heart,

The Goldcrest plays its vital part.

Among the pines it flits unseen,

A woodland jewel with golden sheen.
