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.
