Pretty dull markings, but for a vivid white patch on its rump and tail with a very dark tip, which can just be seen. The nearest I can find is a female Wheatear, or, and more unlikely, the Greenland variant. There were quite a few today, perching on the tops of the telephone wire poles, but they weren't calling, so I can't get an ID that way.
Lesser spotted spadge gargler.
Teenage Robin.
Looks like a Wheatear to me.
Surely faced shite hawk?
baby muslamic swan ?
Bird sits upon a telegraph pole, therefore must be a buzzard.
Northern Wheatear
Fluffy-Backed Tit-Babbler?
Aye, it's a female wheatear.
I think Wheatear. Hard to say if it's a male or a female... First winter male perhaps?
Magpie.
Robin.

Loving some of the less [i]plausible[/i] replies. 😀
I'm pretty sure it's a wheatear, there must have been five or six that I saw, maybe more, none were obvious males, but it was the flash of brilliant white at the rear when they flew from their perch on a pole further along the lane that caught my eye. I can't say I've noticed them before, though.
Thanks for the replies, gentlemen, appreciate the help. 😀
Female Scottish Crossbill. What do I win?
My family of ardent twitchers say it's either a Twite or a Shitehawk.
That's no bird, that's a space station.
And Jamie wins the Internet [i]again[/i]!
Oh, and a Red Kite is a shitehawk, they're a lot biggerer, and I know what one of them looks like anyway. 🙂
