A Study of the Marsh Tit

 

The Marsh Tit (Parus palustris).
A resident species of the broadleaved woodland and not the marsh as its name would suggest.
It will visit adjacent gardens especially if there is food on offer.

  1. What a beautiful series on this little bird. We do not have it here In N.I. so it was lovely to see in your post.

  2. Lovely images of this little bird. I could never tell the Marsh from the Coal Tit. I notice this one has a ring. I'm going to help look out for ringed gulls when (or should I say if) we move house.

  5. Interesting study, Roy, I especially like those captures with its beak full of seeds and the material of the balls.

  9. Great series. I confuse them with willow tits. Are these more common?

    1. Thanks Alison, the Willow is classed as having a 'Vulnerable status' as opposed to the Marsh which is 'Secure'.
