Pembrokeshire Avifauna committee in 1980s BTO winter atlas, GHR, Willow Tit

  The BTO winter atlas showed that Willow Tits were present in the majority of 10km squares during the winters of 1981-82, 1982-82 and 1983-84.

The darker the colour, the higher the relative total count for each 10km square.  The darkest blue represents over 6 birds seen in a day.

The plotted winter distribution was slightly less widespread than that of the breeding season possibly due to a difference in observer effort, as this species is considered to be sedentary.
