Heavy is the Head that wears the Crown
Not the correct use of this idiom but this Firecrest did seem to have a bowed head which showed off his fiery crest beautifully. Firecrests have more orange in the crown than Goldcrests, especially females which have an all yellow crown stripe in Goldcrest. Here's a male Goldcrest for comparison (he was singing): www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/49755706231/in/photolist
The amount of orange here makes me think this Firecrest is a male. It is the one that frequented the banks of the River Aire near St Aidans back in February.
Back to my title, which is a misquote of the line "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown", from Shakespeare's play Henry IV, Part 2, but used recently by Stormzy. It means that those charged with major responsibility carry a heavy burden that makes it difficult for them to relax. And finally, its scientific name Regulus means "little king" from its crown.
