Identity Crisis!

Identity Crisis! (Certhia familiaris)

Not only does it feed on peanuts and sunflower hearts it's taken to perching on branches like no other Treecreeper does! Maybe its been associating with the Chaffinches for too long ;)
They look really weird when seen from the front with low set eyes. A shame it was so distant for this photo.

He is a funny little fella isn't he. Can't recall ever seeing a Treecreeper perched, though I'm sure they must - well, obviously lol! But the eyes do look strange from the front don't they!
