The European Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus) or simply Crested Tit is a small perching bird of the family Paridae which is in the genus Lophophanes. The genus name Lophophanes is from the Ancient Greek lophos meaning "crest" and phaino "to show". Its specific name cristatus
is Latin for "crested". It has a widespread distribution in coniferous
forests throughout central and northern Europe and in deciduous woodland
in France and the Iberian Peninsula. In Britain, it is only found in
Scotland and even then is confined to the Caledonian forests of
Inverness and Strathspey. It is absent from Iceland and Ireland.
