    I know this isn't good enough to post, but I would like to know what the little thing is.
    Well, I say "little" - it was quite a large bird.... something that has been said of me

    Aren't dunnocks fairly small? This was quite large.

    Hard to tell the size. Dunnocks are about as big or fractionally bigger than a RobinIs that a black beak?
    I might think it could be a juvenile Song Thrush but they don't have black beaks although it could be the light making it look black

    Size-wise I'd say thrush. I've looked at the other couple of shots I took, and the beak does look it could be black.. but I couldn't guarantee it.

    I looked at one of my videos and it's a full adult and as it turns it's head it some tome looks black . so yes I'd say a song Thrush
