[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It is typically a bird of temperate humid conifer forest, but apart from that shows little habitat specificity. In Bhutan for example Coal Tits are fairly common residents above the subtropical zone, at about 3,000-3,800 m ASL, and are found in forests dominated by Bhutan Fir (Abies densa) as well as in those characterized by Himalayan Hemlock (Tsuga dumosa) and rhododendrons.[8]

The Coal Tit is an all-year resident throughout almost all range, making only local movements in response to particularly severe weather; only the Siberian birds have a more regular migration. Very rarely, vagrants may cross longer distances; for example the nominate subspecies of continental Europe was recorded in Ireland once in 1960 and once before that, but apparently not since then.

A splendid capture of this cute Coal tit which we can see its typical white spot on its head. The focus, POV and composition are excellent as usual.

Hello Jozsef,
I think that I haven't met this species. It's very similar to Great Tit which very common also on TN. It's very nice photo. The bird is visible exactly in good light also BG is beautiful.

Hi Szabo. This is a first classclose up of the Coal Tit. Excellent detail and rich colours in the feathers. With catch light in the eye. It stands out well from the dark BG. Well taken TFS.
