National Willow Tit Survey 2019 - 2020

Willow Tit is the second fastest declining bird in Britain. To try to better understand the reason for the decline, a national Willow Tit survey is being run by the RSPB and Rare Breeding Birds Panel in 2019 & 2020.

We need your help to locate Willow Tit in Montgomeryshire between mid Feb and mid April. 

The survey method involves walking along likely habitat, playing Willow Tit song every 200m and noting any Willow Tit or Marsh Tit that respond. Full instructions, maps and recording sheets will be provided. If you would like to get involved please contact Mike Haigh (montbird@gmail.com) for further details.

Any general Willow Tit sightings will also be gratefully received. The Willow Tit below at Lake Vyrnwy is busy caching sunflower hearts...
