A great compilation that Tony. I'm not that good at these birds, but I think you have got top L (white spot on upper mandible) and the two bottom ones right (pale secondaries). I just don't know about the top R.

Great pictures too.

It's not always so easy as what I've said above though. If you click on the Opus link above for Willow Tit you'll find a link to an excellent thread discussing the differences between the species.
