The fool that MrT doesn't pity
Initially, I was sure this was a Marsh tit. Please confirm. All photos are of the same individual. Thanks.

I think one can see from the first photo that it is a Marsh tit in that the "neck" is different from that of the Willow tit.
With a Willow tit one is supposed to see a more "bull-necked" bird than with a Marsh tit.
