It's a Mistle Thrush Dave - nice photo. Mistles always look greyer on the back than Song Thrush and look out for pale outer tail feathers on a Mistle as they fly away from you! Mistle is larger than Blackbird and Song Thrush slightly smaller and much browner on the back. Other differences, especially the call and song but won't go into too much detail here !!
A really good book for identification (Britain and European Birds) is 'Collins Bird Guide' by Lars Svensson and Mllarney & Zetterstrom. A must for every birder and it's in soft or hard back.
Cheers Dave, thought it was but never 100% certain, i struggle with warblers and gulls as well so any advice is appreciated
