ural owl occures there, but not willow tit. and to answer your question about the pip calls: both species have them. usually they are much more conspicous in marsh tit, though!if I understand correctlySighișoara - Wikipedia

(between Târgu Mureş and Braşov here)
Would there be Ural Owl if it weren't in the mountains*?
('cerca Siguisoara' = 'circa Sighişoara')
EDIT: *Assuming both photos were taken at the same place.
Hi, Lou. Thanks for your reply. As someone already pointed out, both pictures were taken south of but not far from Siguisoara. A wild hilly, rather than mountanious setting. I've attached a second picture of the tit but I'm not sure it can contribute much to the identification.testoduro, Willow Tits are very rarely found outside Carpathians in Romania (and I mean really inside Carpathians, not even near them), even during winter. If you tell where exactly you took the pic I'd tell you how likely WT is. Usually such pics from Romania are Marsh Tits. Not ID-able from this pic.
