Coal Tit

The coal tit, is a small, active passerine bird in the tit family, Paridae. A widespread and common resident breeder in forests throughout the temperate to subtropical Palearctic, including North Africa. They have a dazzling geographic variation and inhabit coniferous and mixed woodland, forest, parks, and gardens. They visit bird feeders and are associated with foothills and montane areas throughout much of its eastern range. They often join mixed-species flocks in autumn and winter, moving quickly through the foliage and giving high-pitched calls.

Japanese Tit/ Oriental Tit

This common tit is large & pugnacious and found in a wide range of wooded habitats, from dense hill forests to manicured city parks. Found throughout much of East Asia, this species is closely-related to the more brightly-colored Great Tit, from which it was split as a distinct species.

Marsh Tit

The marsh tit (Poecile palustris) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae and genus Poecile, closely related to the willow, Père David's and Songar tits. It is a plain tit with a grayish-brown body and contrasting black-and-white head pattern. Very similar to the Willow Tit and rather difficult to separate, but note the general lack of a prominent wing panel, smaller-headed appearance, and smaller, neater bib. These criteria, however, are generally more reliable in western European range than in Asian range. They inhabit deciduous woodland, older orchards, and gardens; sometimes visits bird feeders. Voice is diagnostic in western Europe, but much less so in Asia; song is a repetitive series of “chew” notes (essentially a slow trill) and calls include a bright “pitchu, pitchu” and “tsiptsip.”
