I'm bad indeed at bird recognition but I saw one the other day that I really
do not recall before. It was a very little larger than a sparrow and much
the same colour but while it was on the ground, its tail had a constant
'bobbing' action, rather like a wagtail. Can anyone help me ID this one?

Black Redstart? They are robin sized; females are cocoa brown and
males are sooty black. The tail is red when "flashed" (flicked kind
of liike a wagtail).

No but that's lovely. I've never seen one.
