- Poecile montana
also more widely known as Parus montana
Description
Identification
It is often confused with Marsh Tit but the pale panel on the secondaries is a good distinguishing feature when present. Also the Marsh Tit has a distinctive 'pish-ooo' call which Willow Tit lacks. Willow Tit's song is very nasal, as if it has a bad cold.
For a exhaustive discussion on the ID of Marsh and Willow Tits see this thread [[1]].
