  1. Hello.
    Great pics!
    I saw what I thought (but wasn't certain) was a Willow tit on the feeders yesterday. You have recorded a Marsh tit. Do you think my bird was more likely a Marsh? I only got a brief glimpse!
    Thanks.

  2. Hi Nick, thanks. Yes I'm sure it would have been a Marsh Tit. There has been one frequenting the feeders at Otmoor for a little while now. Marsh tit is a regular bird at Otmoor.
    Willow tit is a very rare bird in Oxon now. As far as i'm aware there is just one pair now at Grimsbury reservoir in Banbury.

  3. Great - thanks! I will try to hang around longer next time to get a good look, but I was turning to ice yesterday! Lovely bird :-)
