    Just sat watching a couple of birds in the garden, they look like thrushes but are much darker, but can still see a specked chest but only just. They've a dark beak and same size as a thrush.

    Tried googling and looking in my books but can't see them, are they juveniles?

    Just found a pic of female blackbird, could this been one, seem bigger than the males I have in the garden?

    Juvenile Blackbird would be my guess based on your description.
