    More likely a Blackcap Chocky, certainly not a finch beak.

    Strangely enough, I think I saw one today, but was into the sun, so couldn't confirm.

    I thought it might be. I was quite chuffed when I captured him . But thought I was probably wrong . His tail is too tatty as well.
    Here is another but I think he's moving his head
