Whilst counting birds for the Big Garden Bird Count I was fortunate to spot 2 separate Coal Tits in the garden at the same time.

Starling

This lone Starling seems to have experienced some unknown trauma?  It remained in the garden most of the day, eating, drinking and taking short flights.  It was trembling and the feathers remained puffed up, we feared the worst however the following day he was still in garden, but appeared to recover and leave the garden.

Blackbird

Not the best clarity but included as I have never seen such a black Blackbird.  The beak and eyes are not the same as the other Blackbirds that visit our garden.  Just look at those talons.  Is this a European visitor or a first winter male?
