What is the smallest game bird in UK?

The smallest game bird in the UK is the goldcrest, a tiny songbird that weighs only 5-7 grams and measures around 9-10 cm in length. It is a common resident in coniferous forests throughout the UK and is known for its distinctive golden crest, which is raised when the bird is excited. Goldcrests are skilled foragers and feed mainly on insects and spiders, and they are often seen flitting around the branches of trees in search of food. Despite their small size, goldcrests are hardy birds and are well-adapted to the cold climate of the UK.
