Coal tits are often present on bird feeders, but not as common as the other tits. You can also see them in trees. Easily identified from their black, white and buff colours, white spots on the wings and a white stripe at the back of the head which distinguishes it from the all black napes of the Marsh Tit and Willow Tit. They often feed in the trees hanging from the branches at all angles. They can be heard calling to each other in the trees, a single 'tsee' sound.
