Hi again.

Thanks for your comments, Arnoud.

In the case of the Canary Islands, at this moment we consider Regulus teneriffae as a subspecies of R. regulus. On the other hand, there is another subspecies in the westernmost islands (El Hierro and La Palma), described some years ago: R. regulus ellenthalerae

Best regards.

When considering Azores Kinglet Regulus azoricus, see reference in Dutch Birding 28: 26-29, 2006, to paper by Päckert & Martens (2004) on goldcrest songs in Journal für Ornithology 145: 23-30 ('Song dialects on the Atlantic islands: goldcrests of the Azores (Regulus regulus azoricus, R. r. sanctae-mariae, R. c. inermis').

Dear Justin,

Thanks for the link. OK, I can see that the taxonomy of the Azorean Goldcrests considered by Bannerman & Bannerman in their monograph on the birds of the Azores at the end of the 60s is the same accepted in recent years.

Hi.

Very nice photo.

One question: are there three different subspecies of Goldcrest in the Azores, as exposed by Bannerman & Bannerman and other recent authors?
