The subspecies europaeus occurs in Switzerland; it has a broad dark stripe over each eye,
whereas the nominate caudatus has a pure white head.
'The long-tailed tit was first classified as a true tit of the Parus group. Parus has since been split from the Aegithalidae.' [
Somewhat like a house sparrow but 18-19 cm long, not 14-15, kleiner als Star. Ruffled head feathers. NABU says streaks on breast contrast with white belly. [Link]
Grösste europäische Wildgans. [
Ravens are larger, the size of a Red-tailed Hawk [in Switzerland a red kite, similar 'length' but only 2/3 of the huge kite wingspan]. Ravens often travel in pairs, while crows are seen in larger groups. Also, watch the bird’s tail as it flies overhead. The crow’s tail feathers are basically the same length, so when the bird spreads its tail, it opens like a fan. Ravens, however, have longer middle feathers in their tails, so their tail appears wedge-shaped when open.
Listen closely to the birds’ calls. Crows give a cawing sound. But ravens produce a lower croaking sound.
[
Interesting tidbit: the chaffinch is one bird
that can change colors without molting. Its new feathers in autumn are grayish, but by late spring
the edges of the feathers have worn away, revealing the chaffinch's brightest colors of the year. [Lovette and Fitzpatrick's Handbook of Bird Biology]
