The species' song – if "song" it can be called – is a strident if-he, if-he, if-he, heard most frequently from January to June, but also in autumn. One variant of this song ends with a sharp ichi.

The coal tit is an all-year resident throughout almost all range, making only local movements in response to particularly severe weather.

A favourite nesting site is a hole in a rotting tree-stump, often low down, and the nest is deep within the hole; holes in the ground, burrows of mice or rabbits, chinks between the stones in walls.

The bird is seen all year arround in the Plungė park.
