Kayın baştankarası / Parus palustris / Marsh Tit

The Marsh Tit Poecile palustris is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae and genus Poecile, closely related to the Willow, Père David's and Songar Tits. It is small (around 12 cm long and weighing 12 g) with a black crown and nape, pale cheeks, brown back and greyish-brown wings and tail. Between 8 and 11 subspecies are recognised. This bird's close resemblance to the Willow Tit can cause identification problems, especially in the United Kingdom where the local subspecies of the two are very similar (there, they were not recognised as separate species until 1897).

Globally, the Marsh Tit is classified as 'Least Concern', although there is evidence of a decline in numbers (in the UK, numbers have dropped by more than 50 % since the 1970s, for example). It can be found throughout temperate Europe and northern Asia and, despite its name, it occurs in a range of habitats including dry woodland. The Marsh Tit is omnivorous; its food includes caterpillars, spiders and seeds. It nests in tree holes, choosing existing hollows to enlarge, rather than excavating its own. A clutch of 5-9 eggs is laid.

Hi Bedri . This must be one of the best pictures of a Marsh Tit i have seen on TN. Very sharp focusing and fine detail. Your use of the flash has given warm colours. The bird stands out so well from the plain BG. well done TFS. I am going to put this into my favourites list.

Nick..

Hello Bedri,
Excellent photo of this Marsh Tit. The sharp details are superb and the colours look very natural. Great POV, pose, composition and plain BG.
Regards,
Peter

Has no one noticed that it has deformed feet?

Bedri Bey, güzelim karelerinizi geriye doğru taramam gerekecek.
Ama bunu zevkle yapacağım. Nefis, 4/4 lük bir çekim.
Emeğinize sağlık.
Selamlarımla,
Bayram
