Short news: Goldcrest found in Ísafjörður

A goldcrest (regulus regulus) has been found in Ísafjörður last week. This is the smallest bird in Europe and the smallest bird found in Iceland. While there are small communities of these birds around Iceland (around 1000-2000 individuals total), preferring spruce forests, this is the first time one has been spotted in the northern Westfjords.
