| | | Marsh Tit or Willow Tit I know this has been done to death but please help    
All pics of the same bird my feeling is towards Marsh Tit due to bill and neater appearance
Didn't hear a sneezing sound that I think is diagnostic of Marsh Tit
Cheers
Paul

| | | Re: Marsh Tit or Willow Tit in my opinion it looks more like a willow tit, i am only saying this because looking at some of your photos you can see a pale panel on the secondarys which is absent in marsh tits |

| | | Re: Marsh Tit or Willow Tit I'd say Willow  too, because of the bull-like neck seen in the second image.
Also black cap doesn't seem to go below the eye like the Marsh. |
