Southern Lakes, Cumbria, UK - audio of birdsong 19th April 2024 (1 Viewer)

Hello, I'm afraid I didn't manage to get a photo of this bird. It was a little smaller than a robin, perched high in a tree, (and I didn't have my binoculars with me!). All I could see was that it was rather round, and white/grey chest. I recorded the call, which I have attached. If anyone can help me identify this bird, I'd be very grateful.
The recording was made in the Southern Lakes, Cumbria, UK at about midday on 19th April 2024.
Cheers, Tony.

It sounds like a Blue Tit

Or a Marsh Tit?
With the usual caveats, and I hear the "nasal sliding zi dähh dähh" of many tits

Thank you. I'm sure it wasn't a blue tit, but it certainly could have been a marsh tit.
