Description
Not as colourful as some of its relatives, the coal tit has a distinctive grey back, black cap, and white patch at the back of its neck. Its smaller, more slender bill than blue or great tits means it can feed more successfully in conifers. A regular visitor to most feeders, they will take and store food for eating later.
In winter they join with other tits to form flocks which roam through woodlands and gardens in search of food.

Unfortunately the detail is a bit lacking as it was shot through a window so I'm not sure how it would look when blown up.

Yes a little more contrast may have been better but so nice all the same

Wonderful capture! This little guy reminds me a lot of our local chickadees.

Thanks! It's not surprising they seem similar, they are in the same family as the Coal Tit. Our Marsh Tits and Willow Tits are even in the same genus as the Chickadees.
