Ragged Robin:
Hi Ceri, look up either chaffinch or bullfinch, could be one of these.

MagpieDi:
I agree with Robin .......probably a chaffinch, as bullfinch has a rose-pink breast and black cap. Only other I can think of is goldfinch , but that has red around eye and black wings with yellow band.

Never mind Legless......they all count!!!  :)

Ceri:
I've look at the chaffinch and the bullfinch on the rspb website - definitely not either of these - wings were  brown, breast and under-wing lighter brown, no black or grey, breast may have been a bit speckled, only the cheeks were a pale pink - and more of a blackbird in size - mind you the rspb pictures are only of male birds so I don't know if it was a lady chaff/bull finch.  I'll keep looking.  

Piglet:
Ceri, maybe it was a female blackbird blushing as a male one went by - tee hee

(sorry couldnt resist as they are that colour except for pink cheeks).

What colour was its head?  Some of the doves have pale pink on them and they are bigger than the finches.

Piglet.

gavin:
Hi Ceri - pink cheeks? Could it be a Long-Tailed Tit?

There are a couple of colonies nearby us, and in the winter they rove out into gardens and allotments - hunger makes them a bit bolder!

All best - Gavin
