Thank you very much!
Just so I can learn from this: which characteristic is decisive?

Thanks!

This map shows that you essentially have to be in southern Jutland to see Willow Tit in Denmark: http://www.dofbasen.dk/search/result...r&species=alle (data from all year, 2000-now)

Glossy cap is a good pointer.

They are hard. It got a little Willow Tit expression, but... naaah, Marsh. No pale wingpanel and cap looks glossy and bib small.

hi there, yes marsh tit i also find that the willow tit has more of a bull like neck and crown where as the marsh tits is more slender in shape in those areas also perhaps somewhat clean looking.

What Niels said about range is true, I've birded Denmark many many times though I have only birded Falster once so not sure specifically about the situation there, but generally Marsh are very common all over Denmark and Willow I've never seen there, but I believe has a very southely and retracting population
