Not a crow wrong wings. too big for black bird rather dark for a pigeon any clues please? Might be a starling though

Not really sure Beryl, but surely if it is too big to be a blackbird, then it is too big to be a Starling?

I think it is a Starling Rolf . just had a look at another clip of it and it shows the the speckled underside just like a starlings have a look at this it's a little blurred but I think you can see I have lightened it a bit more and the wings are the same shape too as the one in the tree I thought was a fledgling and it's bright yellow beak

Yep, definitely. ):

Thanks for the help Rolf.

I didn't look at that shot because it was so dark but like I said having over lightened it, although not a good shot for the gallery, one can now see it's a Starling
