treecreeper

All species of treecreeper are found in forest and woodland habitats.

This species shares much of its range with the Common Treecreeper.

The treecreeper was soon in distress, mewling and howling to itself.

It moves in all directions on the trunk like a treecreeper, but does not use its tail as a prop.

The Rifleman searches for food in a similar way to the Treecreeper.

Late one afternoon a party of hunters found a treecreeper and one man rushed back to tell the others.

From Treecreeper (p 273) can easily be told by larger size, longer tail, straight bill and brown underparts.

It can climb trees and branches, rather like a treecreeper or sittella.

Yama did not join in the feast of fruit and treecreeper meat.

The treecreeper went down by degrees, mewling querulously.

For the similarly named Australian bird see Brown Treecreeper.

There is also a wide variety of woodland birds, such as chaffinch, treecreeper and nuthatch, throughout the year.

The park is a good place for birdwatching - among the species which may be seen are sparrow hawk, treecreeper and kingfisher.

At last the tormented treecreeper sprang from a slit high up in the trunk of the tree, just beneath the first branches.

Breeding birds include tawny owl, nuthatch and treecreeper.

Short-toed Treecreeper tends to prefer deciduous trees and lower altitudes than its relative in these overlap areas.

This treecreeper is essentially non-migratory but post-breeding dispersal may lead to vagrancy outside the normal range.

For these reasons, the Short-toed Treecreeper is evaluated as Least Concern.

The Brown Treecreeper breeds cooperatively and usually forms a long-term socially monogamous pair.

The Eurasian Treecreeper breeds down to sea level in the north of its range, but tends to be a highland species further south.

Wood ants share the same habitat as the treecreeper, and also feed on invertebrates on tree trunks.

There are two other small bird families with treecreeper or creeper in their name, which are not closely related:

Known as the Black Treecreeper, it has distinctive sooty brown plumage and is slightly smaller than the southern subspecies.

This species is one of a group of very similar treecreeper species, all placed in the single genus Certhia.

The White-throated Treecreeper is predominantly insectivorous, eating mainly ants, although will eat also nectar.
