Thanks for the ID everyone, I have never noticed the yellow rump on a Wagtail before and couldn't see the length of tail  8)

Looks like a Wagtail Robin

Never heard of a Wagtail Robin, Martin!   ( ... or, for that matter, a Wagtail Robin Martin)!    :D :D :D

Quite honestly I had no idea there were so may types of Wagtail but am now up to speed through your great link for ID Mark. Some terrific shots of them Mark and I realise that the one more familiar is the Pied Wagtail which frequented our garden for years.
