I have been asked by a researcher to find out whether there is still a small population in the Potterhanworth/Nocton area. He had been informed that there none north of Bourne Woods in the County! Any up to date information would be welcome. |

Yes there is still a reasonable population in both Neville wood (private but can be viewed from road and public path) and Potterhanworth wood (several public rights of way through it). |

Thanks, Andy, I'll pass that on. Anyone know of any other populations in the county other than those already mentioned? |

Stuart, As far as I am aware, Marsh Tit is common in all woodlands in the south-west of Lincolnshire. It's range probably extends west of a line from Lincoln through Sleaford, Bourne and southwards. Certainly in Bourne, Elsea, Dunsby, Temple, Ingoldsby and Boothby Woods, Marsh Tit are relatively common and Willow Tits virtually non-existant. Alan |

Marsh Tits also occur in the grounds and woodland (both private) surrounding Long Hills Hall just SE of Branston. Presumably part of the Potterhanworth/Nocton metapopulation. Regards Grahame |

Thanks Alan and Grahame - I will pass this on to Richard. He has had a paper accepted by "Ringing on Migration" relating to identifying the two species by bill colour and is also interested in their range in this part of the world. |
