This is one of the hardest of our common birds to photograph as it's usually high up in the shadows with its brown back against a brown trunk. So I was particularly pleased to get this shot.

Oh my Peter... you did get a good picture, didn't you.

Such lovely fether detail too - very well done lad.
 
Smart species, very similar to our creeper, colour somewhat grey to our brown. Adaption to the fauna b/g I guess. Interesting & very fine image Peter. Tfs.

One of the best shots of a creeper I've seen, Peter! That blue backdrop is a stunner. I agree about the problems we have with creepers.
 
I like the angle of this image and the pose, Peter. Well done.

Well, judging by the small amount of images of this species seen here in the Gallery, it must be hard.

This is one awesome image of this Creeper Peter.
