Hi Caz!
I'd have a look at Pied Wagtail - they're black and white ( hence 'pied') and as the name implies, they flick their tail frequently |

Hello and a warm welcome to WAB. Sounds like a Pied Wagtail to me.

I'd also like to welcome you to WAB.
If your sure it was a Blackbird, what you saw was a leutistic bird. I've seen a few around my area, including one that's all white!
Here's one from our local garden centre: 
And here's the all white one from Rufford Park:  | | |
