Nötväcka
Nuthatch (Wood nuthatch, Sitta europea , Nötväcka).
It’s common in the south part of Sweden and it stay for the winter.
Normally they climb up and down in a tree looking for insects.
But this one climbs out on weak twig to get some fresh sprouts.

Sigma 70-200/2.8 ex HSM and Sig,a X 1.4 converter.
Nuthatches are quite unmistakable with their short-tailed, big-headed, fat-bellied shape, even if you don't see the blue-grey back, orangey underparts and long black eyestripe.

ISO 400 - 1/3 ev. NOT Raw-format this time.
