Birds in the garden

Blue skies and sunshine today, though it was very windy and cold. British weather is just bonkers. Can anybody identify the birds? (I'm sorry I don't know)

I went to the gym for an hour and a half this evening and although it hurts while I'm doing it, it makes me feel better once I've been!

I did try some smoke photography but it was an absolute disaster. I think I'm going to need to invest in some off camera flashes or put it on my birthday list...any tips and tricks or stuff I definitely need?
