The last Marsh Tit sighting in our garden was in June 2011, until yesterday when one quite unexpectedly started visiting our seed tray.
Spotting the difference between a Marsh Tit and a Willow Tit is difficult, but Marsh Tits tend to be much more regular bird table visitors, so we are pretty sure this bird is a Marsh Tit.
It was once again spotted taking sunflower hearts this afternoon, then flew off in the general direction of Greenham Common so it may be resident in the woodland there. We got this good picture.
