Status in UK
According to the RSPB, the Willow Tit is in rapid decline and is now considered a 'red status' bird. This status was given for two factors:
- BDp¹ - severe, at least 50%, decline in UK breeding population over last 25 years
- BDP² - severe, at least 50%, contraction of UK breeding range over the entire period used for assessments since the first BoCC review starting in 1969
Conservation work is continuing to determine the cause of the Willow Tit's decline in population and to try to identify ways to improve the situation.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
