One bird that has climbing off to a fine art - The Treecreeper.
With its large claws it can climb up tree trunks and hang upside down on branches with ease.
It is also well equipped with a long curled beak that it uses to prize open bark to search for insects.
Shot on a separate occasion this treecreeper in an unusual pose.
Always a pleasure to stop and watch as these busy little 'acrobats' work their way around the branches...[;o)
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty special little birds Trevor.
DeleteHaving seen a few of them last winter, none this winter.
ReplyDeleteThey are always there Simon, but its just a lot of luck to see them.
DeleteBrilliant to be able to see the adaption of the elongated back toe for clinging to bar kand thin branches.
