A friend of a friend told me today that she had seen a bird in her garden which was half the size of a sparrow again with a completely red bill!!!!!!! Chatting to a friend of mine they suggested that it could possibly be a Java Sparrow! Well I will of course be checking this out on Saturday! Unfortunately though I am not able to say where in Norfolk it is, so I hope that if I do see it, that it is an escaped cage bird and not a MEGA otherwise I will be in a very difficult situation!
Someone else has suggested Red-billed quelea.
Update for any birdforum readers that don't understand A: my bad grammar or B: the Norfolk lingo "half the size of a sparrow again" - means: A BLOODY BIG SPARROW!
