The Marsh Tit. So similar to the Willow Tit, that it is pretty damn difficult to separate the two. It's a great little bird though, and on the cold morning that I saw them (at least 2) they were playing ball rather nicely. Usually so quick to dart in and out of the feeding area, that it's a real challenge to put the binoculars on them.
Thankfully, there was a nice amount of food out for them and they were frequent visitors to a fence post that allowed me to set up the camera and wait.
Marsh Tit, tucking in to breakfast.
Foraging in the undergrowth were a couple of Nuthatches.
A Robin, so friendly and so close, I couldn't get it all in the image.
The robin has such a sweet face!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of the Marsh tit. This is indeed very difficult to distinguish from the matop and blackcap. Also you nuthatch and the portrait of the robin you know beautiful to photograph.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Helma
great close-up of the robin
ReplyDeleteMarsh and Willow can be hard to tell apart (not that I have to anymore!) - call was the way I trusted more than plumage.
