That way if it needs medical attention then you'll already have a vet in-house.

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

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.
Larry the bird
He looks a little short.
RSPB site says that they should be taken to a vet within 48hrs for the same reason after a cat attack. Will be taking to the one on my road during the day tomorrow providing all is well.

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!
No fluff nope. I expected better from a lord of potatoes!
I will put Ed She-wren as a tentative name in this case until species is known
