It's either a Marsh Tit or a Willow Tit, not that easy to tell apart.
The chin stripe under the beak is shorter on the Marsh Tit so this might be a Marsh.

Take a look on google it might help.

I just googled Marsh Tit and Willow Tit and at the top of the page is a BTO video which might help ID it.

Thanks for the link, its nice to know that they are difficult birds to ID even for the experts. I'm not certain now but I would tend to say after watching the video that its a Willow Tit but lets not worry it was nice to watch them feeding where on one post there were at least 4 types of Tit at one time. Blue, Willow, Great and Long Tailed.
