Bird freak
Trädkrypare (Certhia familiaris), The Eurasian Treecreeper or Common Treecreeper, Certhia familiaris.
Trädkryparen är insektsätare och klättrar uppför trädstammar som en mus, för att leta efter insekter som den plockar från skrevor i barken med sin fina böjda näbb. Den flyger sedan till foten av ett annat träd med en distinkt oregelbunden flykt. Fågeln lever ensam på vintern, men kan bilda gemensamma sovplatser under kallt väder.
The Eurasian Treecreeper is insectivorous and climbs up tree trunks like a mouse, to search for insects which it picks from crevices in the bark with its fine curved bill. It then flies to the base of another tree with a distinctive erratic flight. This bird is solitary in winter, but may form communal roosts in cold weather.

That bird is certainly well hidden on the tree trunk. Nice photos!
Must be a close cousin to our Brown Creepers! Those buggers are so hard to photograph because of branches and their natural camouflage.
They are very similiar to our Brown Creepers. They do blend in well with the tree. Great sighting!
Great find Maria. Like Robert and Eileen said, it looks much like our Brown Creeper in the US. They are tough to photograph not only because of their camouflage, but they hardly ever sit still long enough to get a shot off. Well done!
Hej hej, det var länge sen. Hoppas allt är bra med dig.
Ha det gott!
Very cute bird, and well camouflaged too.

Nice shots. I love the way Treecreepers cling on to trees in the most gravity-defying angles.
