Hi every one
For people interested in the Crested Tit
On Sunday 2nd of August 2017
I had a one of these magnificent birds on my bird feeder
It's leg had a orange ring on it
The location was Wf77hq Low Ackworth west yorks
Was I lucky or what
I informed the local RSPB
But I'm not sure if they noted it as I ant find any info on there web site
cheers medsteps

Hi Medsteps and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

As for your garden sighting, I'm wondering what else it could have been that you saw, as Crested Tits only occur in the Highlands of Scotland (in the UK) and don't migrate. A possibility could be a very pale Blue Tit, which does often have an erect crest.

Hi Medsteps

Welcome to BirdForum, hope you enjoy things here.

There's a thread for all things Yorkshire located HERE

Keep a look out for threads title Tyke Meet or Yorkshire Meet - they are the Yorkshire guys getting together for a day's birding.

I tend to agree with Delia on the crested tit, it would be an absolute mega bird in West Yorks, much more likely to be a washed out blue tit.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Did you get any photos of the bird in your garden, a crested tit in England would be an amazing find and I am sure people would love to know more about the sighting.
