For a small woodland bird it does have a loud song
And it's voice from once heard you can never get wrong
In behaviour to most of it's kind much the same
The white throated treecreeper is it's common name
Their nests seldom found and not easy to see
In cavity high on the trunk of a tree
With dark brown on back, spotted unders and white on throat
In the World of birds not seen as worthy of note
With their long thin bills for insects bark they probe around
As they climb the tree trunk to the top from the ground
With other species of treecreeper much in common they do share
And within their range not plentiful or not rare
And though not often seen and as birds not well known
They surely do possess a charm of their own.
