Spotting Tip

Much like the name suggests, you will most often find Treecreepers 'creeping' along the trunks of trees. Treecreepers often start at the bottom of a tree and climb their up, spiraling around the tree before moving onto the next one. Similar in habitat to the Nuthatch, these fascinating birds are almost always found in woodlands.
