| A population of just two
Marsh Tit pairs bred in 1998, but only one pair bred at
Hare Hill Wood in 1999. Two pairs were located during
2002, but Marsh Tit remained a very rare breeding bird
until 2007 when three pairs bred at High Trees, Lound
Wood and Hare Hill Wood. Willow Tit was found to be only slightly
more common than Marsh Tit, with three pairs at Lound
Wood, Hare Hill Wood and the Oil Bore Holes site at
Eakring village during 1998, dropping to just one pair in
1999. There was only the slightest increase throughout
the rest of the period. In 2007, pairs were at Lound
Wood, High Trees and Hare Hill Wood.
