Are you sure that the first is Willow tit?? not Marsh Tit???

I think it's a willow tit: the same birds I meet in our forest and sometimes they eat sunflower seeds from my palm.

That is how Marsh Tit looks like:

I know very little about tits, except that I have learned our American chickadees are in the same family & look similar to the tits I have seen on the cams here. So I did some searching about differences between willow tits & marsh tits. Here is a link I found that may be helpful for identification of each.

Please direct a Siberian Tit (orGray-headed Chickadee) like this to my dutch garden! Its not a Marsh tit. Scientific name is Poecile cinctus and not Poecile palustris or Willow tit (Poecile montanus)



It would definately make my day! And around 1000 or more other Dutch birders.

A Marsh tit like this will also please al lot of birders here, i think this is a Marsh tit subspecies called Poecile palustris borealis , but in that light i'm not 100% sure.



Here the Marsh tits look like this:

WHERE IS THE FOOD!!?

I did not notice when I looked earlier -- it must be hidden by the snow.


Some bird maybe a Greenfinch is trying to look under the snow.

[Lynx]

somebody should go and clean the feeder, or put some more food

poor birds are starving

[Lynx]

ohh thank you!
man with the beige sweater :)

Is there anywhere a photo of how the feeder is constructed? I am trying to imagine what is behind the rounded white screen. I suppose the seed cache is back there, but how is it made, what does it look like? How is it filled with seed? If there is no photo, perhaps someone from the Loodusemees staff could take a photo & post it?

[Fleur]

behind the screen is a a food container.
I've noticed once that there put new food on it.
the seed falls through the holes down the front

[fireblade1]

Really not my favourite bird

nuthatch

Jay knows where it is necessary to search for a forage

[venegor]

The daw has visited a feeding trough

[venegor]

It is a pity, but the forage is absent
