The willow tit is a small tit with buff underparts and brown upperparts, with a distinctive pale panel on the wings. The flanks may sometimes appear rusty. On the head is a dull, black cap, a white cheek, and a back inverted ‘V’ shape on the chin. The bill is black. Males and females look alike.
It has a deep, buzzing, nasal call and a high-pitched piping song, similar to a wood warbler’s. Willow tits mainly feed in scrub and vegetation below trees hunting for insects, as well as berries and seeds.
Willow tits are found in localised regions of England, Wales, and southern Scotland but are in rapid decline due to loss of suitable habitat. They can be spotted in woodlands, scrubland, and hedgerows, and will occasionally visit bird feeders.
