European Crested Tit
Lophophanes cristatus
Topmejsen er en spurvefugl, der er almindelig som ynglefugl i nåleskove i Jylland og på Fyn. Den findes i øvrigt i store dele af Europa.
Field marks
Small with a pointed, black-and-white speckled crest — wholly diagnostic. Whitish face outlined by a black "bridle" curving round the cheek, a black bib, plain brown upperparts and dirty-white underparts.
Can be confused with
- Coal Tit — Coal Tit has a black cap and a white nape-patch but no crest; the Crested Tit's pointed crest and bridled face separate it. Often together in conifers.
Voice
A distinctive, rolling trill — a purring "tsi-tsi-tserrr" unlike any other tit.
