Bird ID Please

I spotted this bird while out today - it was crawling up the trunks of trees really fast, it looked a bit like a mouse - I don't think it's a wren though as it's got quite a long tail. These are the best 2 photos I got as it moved so quick, sorry they're not brilliant

It's a tree creeper.

That was quick, thanks Janice they're fast aren't they?

Indeed it is! Yes they are a pain to catch!

Well done for getting these shots

One of these is an (infrequent) visitor to my garden and I've never even managed to get it in the viewfinder, never mind get a shot!

Lucky you.

Thanks Keith, it certainly was a challenge to get these 2 shots - I had to run from one tree to the other, then he/she was spiralling around the tree trunk so fast - I think it was just pot luck I got them

Lucky you.

Thank you

Yes, the instant they spot you they go to the far side of the trunk.
