| Résumé : | Various published criteria for the separation of Marsh and Willow Tit in the hand were tested on a sample of birds caught for ringing. Only tail 'shape' and the difference in length between T6 and T3 proved reliable. It is suggested that this criterion should be given the most weight, with others used as supporting features, when separating birds in the hand. |
