Jay-(was Anyone know what this is ?)

Taken a few mins ago in a garden in London, it's about the size of a pigeon so can't be a finch I don't think. Roughly 10-12 inches long.

Thanks guys, never seen one before & looked like an inflated finch, but having googled, yes it that's what it was.

Fairly impressive bird

A common garden bird in England. We've got a few here in Wicklow but not that many. They were a vermin species with a bounty up until the 70s.
