- Poecile palustris
previously known as Parus palustris
Identification
Large shiny black cap, small black bib. grey brown upperparts, dull buff underneath.
Similar Species
Very similar to Willow Tit.
Distribution
Taxonomy
Until recently, all Tit species were believed to belong to the same genus, Parus. Since then, research results appeared which made it more likely that the correct treatment was to divide the Tit/Chickadee species into several genera; Marsh Tit thereby became a member of the genus Poecile. Black-bibbed Marsh Tit (Poecile hypermelaena) is a recent split from the regular Marsh Tit.
Habitat
Prefers deciduous woodland.
Behaviour
Moss and grass cup in existing hole either in tree or wall. It eats mainly insects in summer, seeds and berries in autumn and winter. Will use feeders. Its voice is a most distinctive sneezing sound.
