Marsh Tit - Norfolk

From the hide at Sculthorpe we had plenty of other birds besides Brambling. One of those was a lifer for me. The Marsh Tit. Very similar to a Willow Tit, to the point that I really can't tell them apart. Thanks to the expertise of my birding friends, this was definitely a Marsh Tit. With it's shiny head, it's a lovely little bird.





In amongst the many Long Tailed Tits

  1. It looks just like our chickadees! Like yours, it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between the Carolina and Black-capped Chickadees. Love those Long Tailed Tits!

  2. Your photos show it in all its glory. Although the long tailed tits are regular garden visitors but I have never seen a marsh tit.

  6. Great pictures - used to get Marsh and Willow in the car park at Leighton moss - I could only split them with confidence on call. They all looked to have shiny heads to me!
