At what altitude do you find the Common Treecreeper Xeno ?

50 m or so. I live at 35 m. It's quite a climb for a Dutchman!
It has more to do with habitat. The Common Treecreepers are mostly in places with big spruce and oak trees.

Cheers, just keep your oxygen handy then!

Another really hard day yesterday - about fifty miles cycled (well, including pushing the bike up many hills). 2 new birds for my list - Cuckoo and Pied Flycatcher (neither of which were new for the group's UK or Global lists). I'm up to 143 now. It's getting really hard to add new species

I still have a few nightbirds that I should be able to add.
I have no excuse now the curfew is lifted (do unsuitable weather, laziness and incompetence count?)
Edit: Montague's Harrier today!

Five more for me recently, all without walking more than 25metres (well, I've been doing a lot of tiring gardening....). Red-backed Shrike, Whinchat, Northern Wheatear, Short-toed Snake Eagle and Honey Buzzard. None are new for the World list but Whinchat seems to be new for Europe, taking us to 215 species.

Here is my latest blog post detailing my green birding exploits. If people are getting fed up of me sharing these here, please tell me and I'll stop.

Three gruelling rides for 7 birds (plus 1 more while I was writing this)
Now that we're getting into the middle of the year, and I've seen most of the common (and several uncommon) birds that can be found in and a...

I've had four new species for my Green list in the last two days - including 2 that were new for both the UK and Global lists - Northern Fulmar (which I was surprised about) and Lesser Grey Shrike (which I wasn't). The Shrike was my rarest bird yet for my list, and my first British tick. It also took my longest ride yet - 62 miles there and back (Whitby from Middlesbrough). I'm dead chuffed

I’d be dead beat rather than dead chuffed after such an epic effort!

Lol, well I was that as well. My legs are very sore this morning. The flipping Bee-eaters came back yesterday evening but I’m not going back for them

These are all from at or close by our house at Danggaja NR at Topaz near Malanda, Queensland since Jan 1 this year; we have feeders on the deck railing and are delighted to have Satin Bowerbirds with a new bower right beside the house, a very odd time of year as we come into winter and it's been very wet. Birds with a star are daily at the moment and those without months listed are every month this year as far as May

Fantastic. That's boosted the global list very nicely...

This is great. It makes me really want to go to Australia - so many birds I've never seen or even (in many cases) heard of.

One more for me from yesterday -new for the UK list but not the global one - Woodchat Shrike. This brings the UK list to 170 and my own to 149 (and here's my latest blog about it, if anyone's interested - Two Shrikes, lots of hills and a fire - and also I come to a realisation about focussing on the birds)
