Captured this bird this afternoon the lighting was going and was under exposed, think the flash didnt go off for some reason. Photographed through my telephoto 150mm lens.
Think it might be a Nuthatch bit sure or a Grey wagtail
Not really sure what that is Dave, thought at first a Green Woodpecker, but the body is more Thrush like and the tail is too long. How big was it?
As Chocky suggests, I suppose it could be a Wagtail, as there is huge diversity in colouring.
It could of course be a vagrant, or perhaps an escapee.
Hi, think and it looked about the size of a thrush, couldnt see it very well the yellowish body caught my eye as it landed I cropped the image down quit a lot, and it was rather under exposed as well so that didnt help. I think the beak is to long for a wagtail.
Very much not a thrush . He has a two tone head . Green woodpeckers have red on their heads and thicker set beak
. I think it is a Grey wagtail

Defo Grey Wagtail. Unusual for one to be up a tree though.

The wagtails in our local park are often in the trees more often in the brook or running long side and ducking and weaving as they fly along it but yes quit often in the trees that over hang the brook.
Here is a pied Wagtail in a tree
