This is the first Edition of the leaflet which has different images from second Impression published in 1971 on The Crested Tit (Parus cristatus) belongs to the same genus as most of the British titmice, a group containing between thirty and forty species which occur in most parts of Europe, North Africa, Asia and Northern and Central America. D. W. Snow has summarised them neatly as “small, agile, hole-nesting birds with short beaks, which exploit the branches, twigs and leaves of trees for feeding”. In Britain, a special Scottish race of Crested Tit, with a very local distribution in the coniferous woodland of the east central Highlands, has been distinguished. Very few vagrants from the Continent of Europe, where other races are widespread, have been satisfactorily identified in England, and none have been found in Wales or Ireland.
