  1. 📷 Que diriez-vous d’un petit #roitelet huppé (Regulus regulus) pour égayer ce mardi un peu gris ? Le plus petit oiseau d’Europe, avec ses 5 grammes en moyenne. #oiseau #oiseaux #bird #photo #photography #birding #regulus #nature #passerines #400mm #a7rii #birdsofmastodon #wren

  2. Riddle:

    My mate and I, we look the same
    And dwell in holes by family name.
    Attested in Old Pliny’s words,
    I won the title, “King of Birds”
    For flying higher than the Eagle.
    My methods weren’t exactly legal:
    I hid myself, a tiny thing,
    Within the plumage of his wing.

    What am I?
