Lack of pale panel in wing suggests Marsh.

I think Marsh - sometimes a pale spot at the base of the upper mandible is visible - but they don't keep still for long enough to be sure. They do not seem to have the bull-headed jizz of Willow Tit.

Occasional Middle Spotted Woodpeckers and Hawfinches are a real treat.

Thanks everyone for the kind answers. Does the bib of the bird that is showing it's bib fit a Marsh Tit, or otherwise please?
