The marsh tit is a small passerine bird found primarily in broadleaf forests, thickets, and wetland areas across Europe and Asia.

Photograph the marsh tit using a telephoto lens to capture its quick movements in bushes and underbrush.

Be ready to capture a moment when the bird perches to survey its surroundings or searches for food.
