Kept following me but allways on the bright side, could not get a good look at it or decent pic,cheers L.

Looks like a robin to me!!

But I've been doing too many Christmas cards......

[Jonners]

I reckon that's a Dunnock. Looks quite grey underneath, but different on the wing. Thin beak too. That's my reckoning.

[solus]

It's a Dunnock.

My instinct says probably a Robin, picture is not clear enough to be sure,
though on personal experience a robin would be more likely to persist in following a human (in the hope of food) than others that would present a similar profile.

If you lighten the photo you'll see it's a Dunnock!

Can't lighten the photo on my phone - but I agree it's a Dunnock.

Sorry but I cant see
a: how you can be so sure? and
b: why does it matter any way?

My point is; dont make assumptions on ID's no matter what the subject. It may be a Robin or it may be a Dunnock, the two most likely suspects,but unless you can give proof for one or t'other why be so certain?

I would still say the profile looks more like a Robin than a Dunnock but the quality of the pic is not,in my opinion,adequate enough to give a positive ID.

Sorry, but I completely disagree,

I can clearly see streaking on the flanks on this monitor (NEC MultiSync LCD).

It's a Dunnock.

As Solus suggests, if you lighten the photo, it is clearly a dunnock.

It doesn't. But the O/P asked the question, so surely it's better to give a definitive answer if it's possible. And in this case, it is.
