Crows, sparrows, gulls, pigeons are the main ones.
I see a pair of blackbirds in my garden fairly often, occasionally one or two other species. My sister and I once saw what I later learnt was a sparrow-hawk, swoop past us in her garden, not far from my home.
At the moment there is a very young gull, not yet fledged, wandering around near my back-door. It has obviously fallen from the nest somewhere, perhaps on my house chimney. Its parents are not able to look after it properly but one seemed to be feeding it yesterday. They also try to defend it, making using my garden a bit hazardous for me.
