After a morning on Soil Hill, LNK and I headed down to Cromwell
Bottom to check for the Marsh Tit that had been reported on Facebook the
previous day. We spent an hour at the feeding station and the bird made three
visits, using the feeders and often showing well. Nice to see JM, DF and DJS
there as well.
The bird did not call at all during the time we spent watching
it, although others may have heard it after we left. However, the consensus by
those present was that the small bib and pale spot on the base of the bill
rule out Willow Tit, even without the voice confirmation.

Thanks for posting and the report Daniel. Good to meet up with everyone this morning. A bit of a special bird for Calderdale. Well done Heather, the original finder and for posting the pictures. Greatly appreciated by everyone.
Agreed. Great find. Did Heather hear the bird call when she first found it?
