Lots of birds around today, few of them being at all obliging in positioning and stillness. So, instead of a single bird, a "best of". Prospect Park, Reading, UK.
Red Kite, Long-tailed Tit, unknown!, Blue Tit, Grey Squirrel (they get everywhere), Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Jackdaws, Jackdaw, Nuthatch, Wren, Tree Creeper, Goldcrest (honest! I saw it for some 30s darting here and there in some ivy), Robin, a silver's worth of Magpie and a Black-headed Gull.
Missed photoing - Pigeons (duh!), Crows, Blackbirds, Great Tits, Redwing and some duck under cover (of course).

As I said, they get everywhere, and demand attention (or at least nuts)

Great collage! Almost didn't spot the tree creeper. Any idea which one it is, Short-Toed or Eurasian? I can never tell them apart, but considering the Short-Toed is more common (here), I usually just guess that.

In the UK, a Short-Toed Treecreeper is listed in my bird book as "European Vagrant <30 Records", so I'd be amazed if it wasn't just Certhia Familiaris".
And thank you!
