No, it's just a Coal Tit.

Ah, I just thought it was Juvenile because of how fluffed up it was. Does it just do that while it sleeps?

Birds can be fluffed up for two reasons. The cold weather or they are unwell.

A few shots from my garden today.
The linnets (I think) are constantly bullying the goldfinch at the nyger seed.

Cormorants at the old Dublin Laundry Chimney in Milltown

Saw this earlier in Portmarnock. Not 100% on the ID's so open to correction here, looks like a Sparrowhawk with possibly a Sandpiper:

Blackbird that lives in my garden. Is it light coloured enough to be considered albino?

Albino birds can't produce any dark pigments - so they're completely white, and their legs/eyes etc are all pink.

Your bird has the genetic condition 'leucism' which essentially means it's not able to produce dark pigments properly - hence the light colour (but note the correct coloured eyes, legs, bill etc).

An interesting bird to see nonetheless!
