Description
Spain is home to 6 species of the Paridae family, a group of small passerine birds that usually live on trees and feed on insects and seeds. Tits are usually sedentary birds and don't vary greatly in size. 5 of these species live in the Iberian Peninsula, while the sixth one lives in the Canary islands. Clockwise starting from top:

- Great tit (Parus major): As it's name indicates, this tit is one of the largest members of the family, with a length between 13 and 15 cm. It lives through Europe and Asia in a wide variety of habitats. This species also shows sexual dimorphism: the mid-line stripe is narrower and sometimes discontinuous in females.
- European crested tit (Lophophanes cristatus): Living in the forests of Europe, this bird has a beautiful erectile crest. It was formerly included in the genus Parus until it was separated in the genus Lophophanes along with it's relative, the grey crested tit (G. dichrous).
- African blue tit (Cyanistes teneriffae): Formerly considered a subspecies of the eurasian blue tit, this bird is now recognized as a separated species. This species lives in Morocco and some of the Canary islands. The populations between islands have unique characteristics, and the african population has a slightly different coloration.
- Marsh tit (Poecile palustris): Extended through temperate Eurasia, this bird can be found from the Iberian Peninsula to Hokkaido, Japan. Despite it's name, this bird occurs in many habitats, which also include marshes. Due to it's resemblance to it's cousin, the willow tit (P. montanus), sometimes there can be identification problems.
- Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus): This little bird is easily recognizable by it's plumage, which varies slightly between male and female: he male's cap is a bit brighter an less dull than the female's. This species is also famed for it's climbing skills: while searching for food, blue tits usually leap through the branches and hang upside down.
- Coal tit (Periparus ater): This species was also included within the genus Parus until the genus Periparus was created. The coal tit prefers conifer forests, but it can also live on deciduous forests and cities. Of all the species shown here, this is the smallest one, with a length between 10.5 and 11.5 cm
