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.

Plumage characteristics include the lack of a pale wing panel ( formed by pale edges to the secondary feathers in the Willow Tit ), the Marsh Tit's glossier black cap and smaller black ' bib ', although none of these is ' completely reliable '; for example, juvenile Marsh Tits can show a pale wing panel.

The Marsh Tit has a noticeably smaller and shorter head than the Willow Tit and overall the markings are crisp and neat, with the head in proportion to the rest of the bird ( Willow Tit gives the impression of being ' bull-necked ').

A measure of the difficulty in identification is given by the fact that, in the UK, the Willow Tit was not identified as distinct from Marsh Tit until 1897.

Two German ornithologists, Ernst Hartert and Otto Kleinschmidt, were studying Marsh Tit skins at the British Museum and found two wrongly-labelled Willow Tits amongst them ( two Willow Tit specimens were then collected at Coalfall Wood in Finchley, north London, and that species was added to the British list in 1900 ).

This is supported by mtDNA cytochrome b sequence analysis ; within Poecile, the Marsh Tit is part of a group of Eurasian ' typical chickadees ' that includes also the Willow Tit, Père David's Tit, Black-bibbed Tit, and the Songar Tit.

Note the glossy cap, smaller bib and uniform wings which help distinguish it from the Willow Tit. In mixed winter tit flocks, seldom more than one or two Marsh Tits are present, and parties of this species alone are infrequent.

The Willow Tit is distinguished from the Marsh Tit by a sooty brown instead of a glossy blue black cap ; the general colour is otherwise similar, though the under parts are more buff and the flanks distinctly more rufous ; the pale buff edgings to the secondaries form a light patch on the closed wing.

This is supported by mtDNA cytochrome b sequence analysis ; within Poecile, the Willow Tit is part of a group of Eurasian " typical chickadees " that includes also the Marsh Tit, Père David's Tit, and the Songar Tit ( Gill et al.

In fact the Willow Tit, Black-Capped Chickadee, Marsh Tit and Carolina Chickadee are all very similar to one another in appearance.

It was originally a small village settlement called Gwaun Helygen ( Cors Helygen in Modern Welsh, meaning " Marsh of the Willow " in English ), and lay in the former county of Brecknockshire.

The alder carr and willow carr support the Swallowtail Butterfly and the Norfolk hawker dragonfly Aeshna isosceles, as well as Marsh Harriers, Bearded Tits and most of the country's Cetti's Warblers.

Data from 157 woodlands covered by the RSPB / BTO Repeat Woodland Bird Survey showed that the abundance of Marsh Tits in 2003-2004 corresponded with the vegetation present 2 – 4 metres above the ground, the shrub layer.

The study concluded that damage to the shrub layer, caused by overgrazing by deer, for example, may make woodland less suitable for Marsh Tits.

However, Marsh Tits seem not to perform the occasional irruptions that other members of the tit family do.

Most Marsh Tits stay in their breeding territories year-round ; presumably this is related to their food-storing strategy.

Marsh Tits breed mostly in lowland areas, but can reach altitudes of up to 1, 300 m. They prefer large areas of moist, broadleaved woodland, often oak or beech, though they can occupy wet alder woodland, riverside trees, parks and gardens or orchards.

A study at Monks Wood, Cambridgeshire, England, found that Marsh Tits required mature trees with a shrub layer below the canopy, but that they avoided parts of the wood with lots of young trees.

Another study in the United Kingdom found that during winter and while foraging, Marsh Tits spent more time than Blue Tits in the wood's understorey, and more time lower in the woodland canopy and understorey.

In Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire, Marsh Tits were " largely absent " from parts of the wood with a dense canopy but poor shrub cover.

Marsh Tits often take seeds and fruit from the plant before taking them to eat elsewhere.

Marsh Tits collect and store large numbers of seeds.

The hidden seeds are prone to being stolen, by other Marsh Tits or other species, so birds often fly from one site to another before deciding on a hiding place.

Marsh Tits are monogamous and often pair for life ; one pair stayed together for six years.

Marsh Tits do not usually excavate their own nest holes, though they may enlarge the hollow, carrying the chips to a distance before dropping them.

A study of Marsh Tits in Białowieża Forest, Poland, looked at which factors affected birds ' choice to re-occupy a nest hole used the previous year.

A study in Bourton Woods, Gloucestershire, England, found that nestboxes were used by Marsh Tits in successive years in only 20 % of cases.
