Description

Identification

It is often confused with marsh tit but the pale panel on the secondaries is a good distinguishing feature when present. Also marsh tit has a distinctive 'pish-ooo' call which willow tit lacks. Willow tit's song is very nasal, as if it has a bad cold.

For a exhaustive discussion on the ID of Marsh and Willow Tits see this thread [[1]].
