Sumpmejsen er en 11,5 cm lang fugl, der er almindelig som standfugl i fugtige løvskove i de fleste dele af Danmark. Den bliver også kaldt gråmejse.

Field marks

Small grey-brown with a glossy black , a small black bib and white cheeks — and an entirely plain wing. The explosive "pitchou" call is the surest mark.

Can be confused with

  • Willow Tit — Willow Tit has a matt — not glossy — cap, a larger bib, a pale wing panel and a bull-necked look; voice settles it: the Marsh Tit’s explosive "pitchou" against the Willow Tit’s nasal "tchay-tchay".

Voice

An explosive "pitchou", which often carries on as "pitchou-bee-bee-bee"; the song a series of sharp notes gathering strength.
