    I think this is a Great Tit - it definitely has the markings of one! Posted 12 years ago

            Don't be soft, it's a case of always learning and we all make mistakes all the time even with things that we know - we get something in our heads and can't shake it. Hope you had a good Christmas Posted 4 years ago

                Hi Ferdy, Still thinking about this tit, we don't have a country and i don't really see Willow Tits (Poecile montanus) & I think that it may actually be a Willow Tit??? Would normally expect to see the 2 sort of white string lines on the wings??? Posted 4 years ago

The Willow tit

The willow tit is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common resident breeder throughout temperate and subarctic Europe and northern Asia. It is more of a conifer specialist than the closely related marsh tit, which explains it breeding much further north. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate.
