Crested Tit

Lophophanes cristatus

Scarce & local residents in Northern Scotland only of 2,400 pairs.

Also breeds in France & Spain.

Adults are an easy tit to recognise, for besides its erectile crest, the tip of which is often recurved, its gorget and collar are distinctive.

It is, like other tits, talkative, and birds keep up a constant zee, zee, zee birdsong , similar to that of the coal tit.
