The Coal Tit is a small, energetic tit species characterized by its black cap, white cheek patches, and a distinctive white patch on the nape. Primarily associated with coniferous woodlands, it is an agile feeder, often seen clinging to branches. It is a highly active and often vocal bird.
Where to spot
Widespread across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Typically found in coniferous forests, mixed woodlands, parks, and gardens, especially those with conifers.
How to spot
Look for its small size, black cap, and white nape patch, which distinguishes it from other tits. Listen for its distinctive 'sitch-sitch-sitch' or 'pee-choo pee-choo' calls. Often seen darting among branches, sometimes feeding upside down.
When to spot
Observable year-round as they are non-migratory residents in most of their range. They are most active during daylight hours, foraging continuously.
