My guess is they are unusually patchily distributed there.GSE is rather easy where it exists. In Europe, they are especially fond of forests along marshy streams and lakesides with lots of young dead alder, or multi-aged, protected forest with dead thinner trees and branches. I guess dead young trees are what they like.In winter you can see them in eg. riverside willows, or even weeds and reeds with tit flocks.good luck! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
