Bird ID please.

Hi all, great web site you have here.

I was wondering if someone could please ID a very tame bird that just jumped up onto our garden and began pecking at our borders.

We're currently in Norfolk if that helps, with the broads at the end of our garden and the bird appeared suddenly after flying from the mooring opposite, as opposed to swimming along the waterway like the many ducks do.

Many thanks for your help.

Very ugly, very brave but very friendly.
We had a Great Crested Grebe very successfully diving for fish right in front of our mooring yesterday, great to watch.

Many thanks for your 'swift' reply.
