Great Tit or Coal Tit? - Germany (1 Viewer)

Active member
I set up feeders two months ago and I'm finally getting visitors now. Today I saw these two and I want to ID them. Is the bird in the two first photos a Coal Tit and the one in the second two a Great Tit? I'm new to the Tit game so some help would be really appreciated! 😊

Note black stripe down centre of belly (pics 2-3: coal tit doesn't have), one white wing-bar (coal tit has two), fully black rear of head (pic 2: coal tit has white patch there). All these differences will be shown in your field guide.

Thank you very much!
