Treecreeper
It's been a while since I've seen a Treecreeper and I wasn't really looking for one when I was at Macclesfield Forest, but the cold seemed to have brought them out in abundance with at least 4 seen in a short space of time. I find that they're one of those birds that I just have to watch once I've spotted one. They're a little hypnotic the way they wind their way up the tree and then down again to the next one, while picking under the bark for food.
Superb shots.
ReplyDeleteJohn.
That's a neat looking bird!
ReplyDeletereally neat birds! wow, you're not kidding on the claws!
ReplyDeleteLovely images Adam...
ReplyDeleteThese little guys are difficult to capture at time, but you did a wonderful job of it~
ReplyDeleteHard to get, fantastic Adam.
ReplyDeleteAwesome bird! Cool sighting and photos of the Creeper.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of this little chap.
ReplyDeleteGreat sight and photos.
ReplyDeleteexcellent shots of it. My favourite also. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have these. OK, had these, in the better weather! Most of our insects are hibernating!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://www.image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-holiday-recipe-for-you.html
I saw a brown creeper once. Never got a photo of it....
ReplyDeleteThese images are awesome.
It's very hard to get shots of a forever active and camouflaged Treecreeper Adam. You did exceptionally well there to get those.
ReplyDeleteAwesome bird! We have something similar in Australia but it's not related, just a matter of convergent evolution. But come to think of it, I always feel compelled to stop and watch it for a while as well!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of images of the tree creeper.
ReplyDeleteDifficult to achieve this because of its camouflage.
Great shots of the bird in action.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little bird! But I've never seen one. I also like your blog header picture.
ReplyDeleteLove these little birds! Saw my first kind of tree creeper in Texas when we lived there and as you say, was fascinated!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos! I saw tree creepers in the forest too, but it was too dark for me to get any photos of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of this neat little bird.
ReplyDeleteCute little guy! The tree creeper we have here is shades of brown.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of the little creeper in action. I have nuthatches coming to my deck but don't know where to see them on a tree. Really cool!
