Treecreeper

A treecreeper, seen in Tatton Park, Cheshire. Strictly speaking, this is called a Eurasian treecreeper, to distinguish it from the short-toed treecreeper.

I didn't actually measure its toes, but the short-toed treecreeper has a bit less colour contrast between its upper and lower parts. It's also rarely seen in Britain, so I'm reasonably confident in the identification.
