Tupeck would be good but he's not a pecker!
Maybe a poll is required
I did some Googling and it appears to be a Wren, they have a nest in one of the three trees in the garden, whilst Robins and Sparrows share homes in the other trees. The singing and activity throughout the day is quite relaxing

Tracey.
What species is it?

I don't think it's a wren, unless you have hands like a baby.
Wrens are teensy tiny.
Edit: tail looks wrong, too.

Hmm I was referring to this when I said I Googled for similar looking birds:
Same beak shape, same plumage style, this one looks to be young though as it's smaller than 6", probably about 4" beak to tail. Ed She-wren is sleeping now else I'd go double check

I hope he makes it through the night, they usually die from shock once a cats had them.

Rock wrens (i'd never heard of them before, so googled) are American birds, so it"s not one of them.
It doesn't look like a sparrow, finch, thrush or tit. They're the most common garden birds.
Could be a juvenile, but it doesn't look fluffy?
I'm annoyed I can't identify that!

Could be a juvenile starling
