The beak is a deformity. The ID is a Blue Tit (external link).

I've seen a few Black-Capped Chickadees with a deformed beak.

Real nice series Carlton,

These Euro-tits are sooooo cute!
...especially the long-tails.
I love 'em,

Fab shots, i do have a soft spot for the little birds. My nan had a blackbird visiting her garden a few years ago with a deformed beak, it wasn't crossed more of a L shape.
