Probably a baby robin for sure 😉

Nothing like a Robin. Other than that, nfc
Possibly a wood cock.
<edit> thought the swear filter wood get that one!</edit>
Is the piccy showing for everyone ?
Snipe, Dunlin or Woodcock
Difficult without a better pic showing plumage colours.

If its as small as a black bird then maybe a jack snipe
I would put money on that being a water rail.
+1 water rail feet are certainly right for one
The curvature of the beak rules out a snipe and woodcock, plus the colouration is rail like. An excellent Garden tick, I bet theres not many people who can add that to their garden bird tick list, beats my Goldcrest hands down!
looks like a greater spotted photopostingfail to me...
Water rail.
For sure. Not bad to see in the garden 🙂
Nice spot. Defo a water rail and not totally unusual to see a tame-ish individual chilling in a garden/public area not giving a hoot about the fact it's supposed to be shy and retiring!
There still around... a pair.
