Photo taken today by River Bovey in Devon He seemed rather odd in behaviour, seeming unconcerned by our presence and apparently leaning against the branch.
Sorry unsure what bird it is but I would say that it may be sick. Finches get this sick disease. Unsure if that is what it is, I may be completely wrong.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Markings on the head and colour suggest Jay to me, but I agree with CL... poorly bird
Yes - between you both - a sick Jay would fit - thank you …
It’s a Jay.
Thank you
Sounds like an interesting encounter! It’s always fascinating when wildlife seems unusually calm around us. Maybe he was just having a relaxed moment by the river! Did you manage to get a good shot?
