What is this bird?

Birdlovers,  for the last 2 days a new bird has popped into my garden and I have no idea what it is, useless bird me!  My first impression is it is like a very small Jay, and I mean about the size of a sparrow.  It is brown/tan in colour with dark, almost black wings with a white stripe across the wings.  Is it some sort of finch?  I think it was eating some seed that was left on the path after the bigger birds had eaten all the other chunkier stuff.   :-\

I think it was a Bullfinch.  Can't be 100% certain as the piccy makes it look more reddish than mine, but I shall keep 'em peeled tomorrow and try to get a better look.  Cor, you lot are clever!  ;D

Any chance of a pic of it, EJ?
Anyone know where this rabbit lives? Looks very lost to me.

Must be a relative of this wild one my Dad found in his stair cupboard

Oh sooooo cute Beer Belly.  Poor little thing must  have no sense of smell to have set up home there ;D
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

What's really strange is that the doors were shut - We think our cat must've smuggled it in earlier in the day, then lost it and it took refuge in my Dads stinky trainer.
