Sorry no picture but........
Spotted in the garden (in Surrey) very briefly.
Approx though possibly a tad smaller than a Blue Tit
Two very narrow black stripes along the back of the head.
White otherwise the rest of the head & neck i.e. no solid black areas like a Coal Tit.
No distinct colour on the body.
Initially I thought it was (maybe still is?) a tit but nothing matches what I saw??? What with the high winds I wonder if this is foreign visitor, but what was it?
Edit
Widening my Merlin search....I found the Azure Tit, now bearing mind I saw it for all of approx 10-15 seconds (approx 15 to 25ft away as it flitted from one perch to another ) maybe just maybe what I describe as the narrow head stripes were the thin black eyebars ???
