The treecreeper is small, very active, bird that lives in trees. It has a long, slender, downcurved bill. It is speckly brown above and mainly white below. It breeds in the UK and is resident here. Birds leave their breeding territories in autumn but most range no further than 20 km. When these birds are grounded they sit on their heels ..Bandy legged..Only because they spend their lives clinging to trees.. 500mm ISO 800

A neat capture, he blends in with his surroundings, but you still managed to capture his color and detail. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Love the detail and colours in this sweet little fellow. Now did you take this from above him and what's he standing on?

We have some tree huggers here in the US, Count B. Some of them can be very noisy. This one blends so well with the tree. Excellent shot and info.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

I allmost did not see him. Nature gave him some great camo.

Another very good shot Richie. With those claws I can imagine it won't be easy to sit on flat ground.

It doesn't need camouflage fatigues, that's for sure. LOL. Nice capture again. I can see you are liking that new lens.

Seeing it thumbnail I could hardly see this little bird. Great camo it has. Clear and sharp shot. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.
