We had our first g&t of the year in the garden yesterday evening and
saw what we think is the first ever willow tit here. What a special
occasion!




Indeed !
Fraid - I always have trouble differentiating between the various varieties
of tits. What are the defining visual factors of this willow variety ?

Regards
Pete


Smaller, mostly black and white with no blue or yellow on them. Look a
bit scruffy! It's very like a marsh tit, or so I gather but we have no
marshes near here, so.....!
