Identification

The Marsh Tit is not a bird of marshes at all but is most likely to be found in mature deciduous woodland or parkland. Its pattern of black cap, white cheeks and brown back is found in only one other British bird, the very similar Willow Tit. The Marsh Tit is however, the smarter, neater, slimmer of the two with a glossy black cap and short, neat black bib - altogether a more dapper-looking bird.

Habitat

Breeds and winters in mature broad-leaved woodlands.

Migration

Sedentary.
