treecreeper

Lavells Feeder tree. Unfortunatley, the dark side. ISO 1600, 1/640th, Sony A700, Sigma 400, 5.6 @ 5.6

Cold day at hide.

Well I spent the best part of the day trying to get Nuthatches with not too much to show (even though I could have touched one that came to the tree on the wrong side of the car and even stopped to have a look at me) and just as the sun started to disappear a Treecreeper came to roughly where I...

Well I went for a wander on Lakenheath Warren yesterday afternoon, did 3.8miles, didnt know, but Hazel had slipped her pedometer in one of my pockets. I reckon she thought I was going to the pub instead, and was just checking up on me. Well, I didnt see anything much at all on my walk, only a...

One of the little gems of Oakwood...boy do they move fast - lots of blurred bodies, half tail shots - some nice detailed tree (with no creeper..lol) but just about got one in focus !! Thanks to Ken again for a wonderful couple of hours.

It was great to get my first ever image of a Treecreeper, my thanks goes to Ken. ROD.

After a rather successful bug-hunting trip.

Early start for me today, we are off to Lee-On-Solent for a couple of days this morning. We are hoping to get a look at the reserve at Titchfield Haven if the weathers kind to us tomorrow. Travelling this morning, and taking lappy with us, so hopefully get internet when we get there. Three from...

Three from Oak Wood today.

With quite a meal for the nestlings inside the shed.

I am still waiting to get a good shot of a Treecreeper. They usually fly off just as I get them in the viewfinder or, if I find a co-operative one, the light is so bad that the camera won't focus. This pathetic effort is about the best I have managed so far but, as I want one in my gallery, it...

This is a Brown Treecreeper - which I call my Spink Spink bird on account of its contact call. Australia is one of the few places in the world where there are no woodpeckers. But their niche is occupied by a variety of treecreepers - old endemics whose nearest relations are probably lyrebirds...

Whilst walking in some local woods in search of reported spotted flycatchers, I found these returning to a nest in a woodshed. Made up for dipping on the flies, and then some.

Oh that feels sooooo good another bird soaking up those rays

This little bird was busy foraging on a tree, about four feet away from where a bloke sat fishing.

Plenty of small insects today means full tummies for the chicks.

Prospecting nest sites.

I had a trip to Bodrhyddan Hall today to get permission to take photos on Lord Langfords land and got this shot.

Inspecting a possible nesthole

Managed to spot this little beauty dragging this enormous piece of bark up this old oak tree. Sadly for him he dropped it and moved onto something a little smaller.

As my good friend JohnnyO would say. ;) Had to share this one as it is not the typical pose you get a Treecreeper in.
