Thanks for the suggestions, I think it may have been a Linnet from looking at the rspb site, though the colours aren't quite as vivid as the ones I saw - maybe the juvenile colours are?? The red was similar to that of a Great spotted woodpecker, the juvenile of which has a red cap, but this bird was nowhere near that size and its wings weren't spotted... There are lots of Black redstarts that visit our garden and it definitely wasn't one of them. Sorry should have mentioned I'm based in central France, dept 36, countryside,  mainly cattle, so lots of fields growing stuff to feed them! I shall have to keep a lookout for him, try and get a photo.

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me identify a bird I saw in the garden yesterday, from the back it was small and quite upright, slim, rather than round like a robin and its wings were blackish on the tips. When it turned round I saw it had a bright red cap and a bright red patch lower down on its front, not its throat and breast like a robin. I've checked my bird book and looked on the web but can't find it! Does anyone know what it is? Thanks
