Jeepers, Creeper


Occasionally, we get visitors to the garden that we don't see very often.  The last time we saw a Treecreeper was more than two years ago.  Last week Terry spotted one motoring around the silver birch tree outside the kitchen window.

The speed in which it ascended the tree is quite startling.  The vertical surface doesn't present much of an obstacle for this beautiful little bird.  The curved bill is an ideal tool for discovering insects and spiders, it's main diet.
