These birds are common in mature coniferous woodlands, but can be found in mixed woodlands in suburban habitats. Look for them spiralling up around tree trunks, searching in crevices for insects and spiders. These tiny little birds are full of energy and are always on the go and so can be difficult to spot and even more difficult to photograph!

ReplyDeleteWonderful close-ups!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Very similar to our Treecreeper.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo DBM!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of photographing that one!
ReplyDeleteI like birds with attitude too, except the robin. They are just mean to other birds. I like starlings, who quarrel incessantly among themselves but leave other species alone. They remind me of a gang of teenagers out for a night on the town!
I saw a treecreeper once, and only once, when I was a teenager myself. He spiralled like a little brown mouse up one of our apple trees, only his long curved beak giving his identity away.
