I found this particular bird in the Woodland where I walk frequently.
Unless you are really studying and on the look out for the Treecreeper, finding them is often pure luck. During this walk I spent about 30 minutes in one place overlooking what appeared favourable trees for this species, nothing showed.
However, I later moved on to another part of the woodland and there he was showing well in the sunshine. The bird moved from one low tree to another and fortunately remained at that level. Normally they will keep moving up tall trees searching for food as they go.
The first image here is one showing the Treecreeper in an upright position which is unusual to see.
My experience with our Brown Creeper is the same. It is a very difficult bird to get because they are quite active and are often high up.
ReplyDeleteVery well done.
Thanks Steve.
DeleteGreat photos! Much like the Brown Creeper here.
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos of the treecreeper. I always love to watch them, especially as they dart around so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy.
DeleteGreat shots! Much better than the ones I got.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon.
DeleteSuper images, Roy. I especially like the last on on the moss and the closeup silhouette about halfway through the series. Just terrific.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wilma.
DeleteTreecreeper is a true high-speed bird. We have been Treecreeper feeding throughout the winter.
ReplyDeleteYes they don't hang around much for photos normally Anne.

DeleteYou often have to run around the tree to capture this bird and get neck ache in the process ;-) lovely captures of this bird Roy :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn.
DeleteHey Roy... Awesome shots of the intriguing, hard to keep up with little one.
ReplyDeleteI have had one in a tree not far from my deck most of the winter. I did manage to get a couple of photos, but just found it more interesting to watch him.

Thanks GG, they are fascinating little birds.
DeleteOh wow !!! You're really beautiful pictures of the tree creeper.
ReplyDeleteAs you photographed him, I've never seen him. The first two pictures are really great!
Thanks Helma. I was pleased that he showed so well.
