	Trees for Life - Species Profile: Crested tit
		The crested tit can live for up to seven years, but the average lifespan is much shorter, at two years, due to factors such as predation, starvation in winter etc. Vocalisations consist of a soft, purring trill, which is repeated as a song, and high-pitched 'zee-zee-zee' calls.
		The crested tit is a resident, non-migratory species, and is sedentary - it generally remains in the area where it was born.
		Because of their use of snags for nesting, the presence of the crested tit is an indicator of the ecological health of a forest, which should naturally contain standing dead trees.

	Falcunculus frontatus – Crested Shrike-tit
		The head of the Crested Shrike-tit is striped fl and white, with a broad median crown stripe and fl eyelines setting off its otherwise white cheek patches.
		The Crested Shrike-tit is a diurnal bird that occupies large territories during most of the year.

		Some titmice have crests, e.g., the crested tit of Eurasia and the tufted titmouse, Lophophanes bicolor, a mouse-gray bird with rust side patches common in the E United States.
		To this group belongs the Javanese pygmy tit (3 in./7.5 cm long, most of it tail); the bush tits of the American West are closely related.
		A third group, the penduline tits, are named for their hanging bag nests; the only American species is the western verdin.

	British Garden Birds - Crested Tit
		Crested Tits are similar to Marsh Tits and Willow Tits but, in Britain, Crested Tits are found only in the Caledonian forests of Scotland.
		Crested Tits forage on the ground and among the low branches of pine forests in search of insects, spiders, and pine seeds.
		Crested Tits are protected as they are restricted mainly to the old Scot's Pine forests in Scotland.

		Although not as colourful as some other tits, its ‘bridled’ face pattern and the upstanding fl and white crest make this a most distinctive species.
		Crested tits feed actively, clinging to trunks and hanging from branches, like most tits, searching for a wide range of invertebrates and pine seeds.

		Don’t expect to see a bearded tit or a crested tit on your bird table, but the other varieties are more or less frequent visitors to Warwickshire.
		Originally, blue tits were woodland birds and in winter they often join in large flocks with other species of tits to forage for insects, seeds and nuts.
		The long-tailed tit is easily recognisable with its pink, fl and white plumage, a tail that is noticeably longer than its body, and distinctive undulating flight.

		Long-distance land bird migration Many species of land birds migrate very long distances, the most common pattern being for birds to breed in the temperate or arctic northern hemisphere and winter in warmer regions, often in the tropics or the southern hemisphere.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		We suggest that the coexistence of willow tits, crested tits and coal tits is the result of a combination of competition for food and predator safe foraging sites.
		The smaller coal tit is superior in exploitation competition for food, while the two larger species have an advantage in interference competition for predator safe foraging sites.
		The association between the distribution of the pygmy owl and the two larger tit species on isolated islands in Scandinavia is consistent with the idea that the pygmy owl is a keystone predator.

	Shrike-tits and Ploughbill
		The most familiar is the 'Crested Shrike-tit' group of Australia, a distinctive set of birds with isolated populations frequenting open woodlands in east, southwest, and north Australia.
		Sibley and Ahlquist (1990) and Sibley and Monroe (1990), using DNA hybridization evidence (although it is unclear whether they had sample of ploughbill), thought that the Shrike-tits were a tribe [Falcunculini] along with Crested Bellbird Oreoica guttaralis and Mottled Whistler Phagologus leucostigma, while Wattled Ploughbill was considered near the pitohuis in another tribe [Pachycephalini].
		Crested Bellbird is placed with the pitohuis and shrike-thrushes in yet another new family: Colluricinclidae.

	Tyrant flycatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines) and so do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of the songbirds.
		Most, but not all, are rather plain, and many have erectile crests.

	Taxonomy and diversity at the species level
		The coal tit and the crested tit were placed somewhere in between the former two groups (I).
		On the contrary, the distance between the Siberian and the willow tit was lower (5.34%) when estimated from the control region compared to the estimate from the cytochrome
		sequences was 12.3% between the willow tit and the crested tit.

	Coal tit - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
		Not as colourful as some of its relatives, the coal tit has a distinctive grey back, fl cap, and white patch at the back of its neck.
		Its smaller, more slender bill than blue or great tits means it can feed more successfully in conifers.
		In winter they join with other tits to form flocks which roam through woodlands and gardens in search of food.

	The SOC - Crested Tit print by Chris Rose (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Nowhere else have I ever seen lichens in such profusion that they seem to literally drip from the branches and it is this almost fairy-tale landscape that provided the inspiration for this painting.
		Crested Tits are almost emblematic of these northern forests and are as much a part of them as the smell of damp pine needles on the forest floor and the latticework of lichen-encrusted twigs, which cloaks the trees like grey gauze.
		I had plenty of sketches of Crested Tits that I could use for the picture but, having established the basic idea for the painting, I spent an entire day wandering through the Abernethy Forest trying to find the ‘perfect branch’!

	Crested Shrike-tit mimicry?
		On one occasion, late October 2000, the mimicry was of Brown Falcon calls and wing sounds, two birds were perched facing one another.
		The other occasion was in March 2001, varied mimicry mixed with the usual 'knock-at-the-door' calls and downwards whistles (I have occasionally heard upwards whistles also).
		I remarked to a neighbour that the Crested Shrike-tits never feature in the dawn chorus, and don't begin calling until later in the morning.

		A Highland speciality in Britain, although common on the continent, the Crested Tit is one of the most popular birds for visitors to the area where I live and work.
		As with much of my art, the background is totally non-specific, but the bird and foreground are in focus.
		This was the first picture of this size I had attempted, and found that it was possible to scale down my works as long as I had a brush handy.

		Crested Tits have been known to come down to the Loch side picnic tables and one evening returning late from the summit plateau a female Capercaillie walked across the road in front of me.

		The distribution area of the willow tit covers a zone from north-eastern France through the central and northern Europe and Russian Taiga to the Pacific coast and over the Bering strait into Alaska (Cramp & Perrins 1993).

		This species reaches the Atlantic coast in the west and the Caspian Sea in the east and the northern limit is in central Fennoscandia and southern Russia (Cramp & Perrins 1993).
