    Bird

    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.

    You mean moves vertically on trees?

    Small Size – possibly a Tree Creeper

    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

    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?

    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.

    No you didn’t which is why I asked “why juvenile?”

    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.

    As it seems to have stolen the photograph I can only presume it was a Harr Finch
