Is anybody ringing any numbers of Marsh Tits in Scotland or Northumberland? I'm interested in seeing what race they might belong to. English (Parus palustris dresseri) Marsh Tits are only supposed to extend up to Yorks/Lancs (according to BWP), with the bigger nominate palustris taking over from thereon north. Wing lengths for birds in Cumbria seem to be the same as mine here in Cambs though, suggesting they're not that different. And several bodies don't seem to be too convinced that there are 2 races in Britain.
Anyone shed any light on what Marsh Tits are like further north?
