In the cool, moss-laced forests of Eurasia, this bark-hugging specialist spirals upward along tree trunks with quiet determination. It feeds almost entirely on insects and spiders hidden in the smallest cracks, using its curved bill to tease prey from places no other bird can reach. What makes it extraordinary is its unseen service to the forest — by cleansing trees of pests and moving tirelessly from trunk to trunk, it helps keep ancient woodlands healthy and resilient. A whisper against the bark, yet a faithful caretaker of the trees.
