Did you know that in the last half-century, the British population of willow tits has dropped by more than 90%? The Tamar catchment should provide an ideal habitat for the willow tit, but in recent times sightings have been scarce.
In 2021, willow tits were found nesting in a rotten fence post near Cotehele’s Comfort Wood and it is hoped that current nature recovery plans will rekindle the local willow tit population.
We’re celebrating the return of these amazing birds. Learn about the habitats favoured by willow tits, see their fascinating nest-boxes being built and discover the amazing work that Cotehele’s Rangers have been doing to encourage the return of willow tits to the area.
