Description
While it may be a plain-colored tit, the marsh Tit has a distinctive shrill call. The small bird prefers wooded areas but will visit gardens when bird feeders are present. The bird is even known to hoard seeds from feeders, burying them in the ground for a later date.
Size
12 cm
Life Expectancy
10 years
Feeding Habits
Marsh Tit primarily consume spiders and insects in spring and summer, shifting to seeds, nuts, and berries in autumn and winter, with a preference for beechmast. They exhibit food caching behavior, storing seeds for later consumption.
Habitat
Marsh Tit are commonly found in lowland to submontane and montane regions, inhabiting mature deciduous woodlands and forests rich in dead or decaying trees with open undergrowth. Their preferred environments include extensive areas of oak and beech forests, mixed woodlands, riverine alder carrs, and forests with poplar, birch, willow, and bird cherry. Marsh Tit utilize woodland with well-developed shrub layers and can occasionally be found in parks, orchards, gardens, and cultivated land edges. They tend to avoid very moist areas, marshes, and urban landscapes, but may visit conifers and rural gardens near woodlands outside the breeding season. Their habitat range is from sea level up to 1300 meters in Europe and higher elevations in Greece, Altai, Japan, China, and Korea.

Behavior
In mixed winter tit flocks, seldom more than one or two marsh tits are present, and parties of this species alone are infrequent. Its performances in the bushes and branches are just as neat and agile as those of other tits; it often hangs upside down by one leg. 
Distribution Area
The marsh tit has a worldwide Extent of Occurrence of around 10 million square kilometres. The global population includes between 6.1 million and 12 million birds in Europe alone. It is a widespread and common resident breeder throughout temperate Europe and northern Asia. It occurs from northern Spain north to south-eastern Scotland and east to western Russia, with a broad gap in western Asia and present again in eastern Asia from the Altai Mountains east to northern Japan and northern and western China.
