Coal tit was my guess, but not sure.

Its on a woodland edge of a mixed wood, with fields either side.

doubt it but you never know it caught my eye at side of car on verge,but couldnt get a pic as i was in traffic first time ive ever seen one like that with pure white markings on it,
 
I've seen a couple of blackbirds with a degree of white on them before.[/QUOTEs a shock to me ive never seen one before anywhere,and whats funny about it one of my grandsons came today and told me his dad my second eldest saw it in the same place going to work a couple of days earlier,
 
"Leucism" although not common, it is apparently more often seen in blackbirds than other species. Maybe because it's more obvious in an all black bird.
