Sumpfmeise / Marsh tit (Poecile palustris)

Photographed on the Luppmen in September 2019 I didn't recognize it then but I'm pretty sure now. 2019-09-22 18.45.30 Luppmen
Systematik: Gattung Poecile; Familie Meisen (Paridae)
Singvögel, Meisen, ■■
I see them occasionally at the Luppmen or our house, but maybe 1% as often as Kohlmeisen and Blaumeisen. BirdNet suggested a Wiesenmeise, but those are rare here and Sumpfmeisen not uncommon according to BirdLife Zurich
Etymologie: Auch Nonnenmeise genannt - weil es auch eine Moenchmeise gibt? [Link]
Vokalisierung: Most easily identified by sound. Especially in areas where plumage is less distinct compared to Willow Tit, like in Britain. [Link]
Klapperlied - 6-8 Noten 'angeschlagen'
Gesang: Klapperlied. Reihe (6-8) weich angeschlagene Töne mittlerer Höhe. Ähnlich der Klappergrasmücke aber weicher. (Sumpf ist weich) Oft auch Rufe wie „psja“ zu hören. Ziemlich scharf u. gepresst. [Link]
Rufe: Most typical call an explosive, sneeze-like "pee-choo", starting high-pitched and ending on a lower note.

Gesang: Higher-pitched than great tit, sometimes repetitive 1- and 2-note tunes like them, sometimes simple melodies, usually pure, sometimes chirpy or raspy. BirdID at Nord U says 'Song: A simple one or two note call repeated in series. Usually rising slightly in pitch, and with a "liquid" quality.'. At bird-song.ch it's hl-rest-hl, or 7-8 2-noter swoops. bird-song.ch names lh-break-hl as a pistjä call and also has a series of 7 or 8 falling 'swoops'.
Gesang Eigenschaften: Melody: einfach rhythmisch, schnell, Frequency: 2-10 KHz
