Treecreeper

Was out today and it wasn't the best days at all for a number of reasons. I was about to call it a day when this little chap caught my eye to my left, and wasn't actually scuttling all over the tree as per usual.

No, he was preening for a good minute or two allowing me to try and get some shots. Terrible light and udner a canopy meant for some high iso and also an attempt at a slower shutter. He was very still at times so I got lucky.

Ran a fair bit of noise reduction purely so I can just get the images useable, so don't punish me too much eh

these are also a first for me too so well chuffed!

Thanks

I've never seen one, so if i get shots like these if i get lucky
i'd be chuffed to mintballs, top notch dan....

[sturs]

Good capture Dan, as you said they are not easy to get and always in bad light

1st photo is pretty good I think. Better than the ones I have got.

Two very nice images, I like how the first one shows how well the bird is camouflaged.

A treecreeper capture is a great capture because these chaps dont hang about.

Well done on getting these

Thanks everybody for the comments, much appreciated.

It was a pleasure seeing them and even moreso bagging some shots, they are very interesting to watch

well caught dan tricky little ones.

Good capture Dan as they very rarely show in perfect light.

I can't stress how good these are. Tree creepers are jumpy little things, stopping for seconds at a time lol.

Never an easy bird to photograph so well done, nice shots.

Thanks again for the comments everyone

They are ultra tricky to capture when on the move, i couldn't believe how hard they work the trees
