My money would be on willow too, the cap looks sooty rather than glossy, the neck looks thick, and there is a hint of a pale wing panel as oxycera says. Bib looks small, though, but this very variable in both species and in no way a certainty. |

Thanks for the ID Willow tit it is then will no next time I see him. The country park is an old Gravel pit from the 1950s 60s it now as a visitors centre and lots off wildlife.

Yes, willow tit.
I wish people would make a note of the call when they see these species. It is easiest distinguishing factor. |
