Marsh Tit |
|
|
The Marsh tit is very similar to the Willow tit. In fact, it
is almost impossible to tell them apart except for their
call.
The Marsh tit is small with a black glossy cap and bib. The
upper parts are grey-brown and under parts, buff. The Willow
tit has a less glossy black cap, a slightly thicker neck and
a less neat appearance.
The sexes are the same. |
