Hey, thanks Ian. You would think it would have a heap of trouble getting a peanut out of there with its probing type beak. A very nice and unusual behaviour shot.

Fascinating - not a bird I've ever seen on a feeder. Treecreepers occasionally come fairly close to our feeders so maybe one day they'll realize what they've been missing.
It's a beautiful capture too!

This is a great shot and thanks for the information about this bird Ian! Interesting little fellow. The Brown Creepers here will occasionally eat the suet but I've never seen them go after seed.
