Marsh Tits seem scarce these days. They stopped visiting our garden feeder a few years ago, and those that remain appear to have retreated into woodlands. So I was pleased to see one today on Moel-y-Golfa, above Trewern village. Voice is often the best way to separate it from Willow Tit, but this one was silent. I identified it by a combination of features: lack of pale wing panel, glossy cap, smaller bib and on habitat, as Willows prefer wetter woodland. Marsh Tit is not a bird of marshes!
