Having a heart! (Certhia familiaris)

The Treecreeper is still a regular visitor at the feeding station on my local patch. Occasionally it takes a peanut but mostly it goes for the sunflower hearts I put out. Having grabbed one it siddles backwards down the feeder tree trunk, flips up the heart and swallows it whole. Just occasionally it poses for photos!

Lucky you Ian. At least yours stops for a shot. I love the darkness that surrounds it. Beautiful shot!
