Looks and moves like a woodpecker, but completely the wrong colour?
Image won't show for me.
I'm guessing that it's a baby pterodactyl. Very rare, good spot.
Baby Robin
moves like a woodpecker
You mean moves vertically on trees?
Can't see an image
Small Size - possibly a Tree Creeper
Sure it wasn't blue?

I see there's issues with images? Any tips?
Much bigger than a treecreeper. Looks and sized like a Spotted Woodpecker but all dark grey-brown.
Juvenille Green Woodpecker? Did it have a red cap still? Like a brown version of a green woodpecker only usually seen on the ground not on a tree
no red cap, completely one colour.
Fieldfare? (I can't see the image so guessing from the description)
Can't see the image but have you tried using Google Lense? It's pretty good with that sort of thing
Pictures not showing.
did it climb up the tree? Tiny bird, almost like a mouse - Treecreeper.
Climb up and down the tree - nuthatch.
pigeon sized and greenish - green woodpecker. Usually found on the ground.
Juvenile jay. I'm absolutely sure. Even tho I can't see it, I'm going to argue until I'm blue in the face ?
Our Fieldfares have gone back to Sweden for the summer and have much more colour on them.
Way bigger than a treecreeper, bigger than the nuthatch that we see every day here.
If only I could get the pic to show?
upload to imgur and paste a link?
Juvenile jay. I’m absolutely sure.
Why juvenile? Juvenile jays don't have different plumage to adult jays.
Well not after they have fledged anyway
Google Lens doesn't know, other than suggesting Juvenile Starling - but they don't have anything like the beak that this bad boy has. There are juvenile starlings living in next door's roof and I've photographed them regularly so I'm pretty sure its not them.

Did I say they did? (I did try to put a winking emoji)
Starling is a good shout...they do have surprisingly long beaks, and the juniors are brown and boring.
Did I say they did?
No you didn't which is why I asked "why juvenile?"
Deleted..unnecessarily rude.

I see there’s issues with images? Any tips?
Just post the url, image posting on the forum seems to be broken.
Do we have a pic yet? I usually use postimage.org then copy the hotlink. Haven’t checked if it’s not working today due to the end of the world though..
Nothing to add, just bravo to all trying to identify an unknown bird from a non existent image. Starling work.
Starling work.
Ah great the bird puns have started!

Was it fowl?

Such a silly goose, he's eider grousing or ducking the question. Hawking his dodgy opinions at anyone who will swallow them. Swiftly!
I'm starling to think there was no bird
As it seems to have stolen the photograph I can only presume it was a Harr Finch
There's a linnet to my patience to wait for the photo
Impatient bustard?
Deleted..unnecessarily rude.
Sound like a chicken out.
heres a baby buzzard while we wait
The OP will be Choughed if he works out how to upload a picture.
I'm sure he'll be pheasantly surprised
Could everyone please quit the fowl language?
Sound like a chicken out.
Maybe he took a funny tern?
Unable to upload a picture, I'm thinking OP has bittern off more than he can chew starting this thread
Wryneck?
Lesser spotted Zero TR?
someones a Robin toad, stealing the image.
Until I've a gander at the photo this thread will be puffin out hot air.
Anyhow, here's a photo of mine from earlier in the week.

Our attempts to identify it will be skua-ed if the OP doesn't succeed.
I'm stopping now.
Less of the snipe-ing, he'll be having a ruff time of it with all you great tits going at him.
Sorry that one flew straight over my head.
Who's got great tits?
