What! Bird or branch? Well, the treecreper leaving the nest.

The nest, but it is impossible to see anything in it.

Today I accidently found a pair of treecreeper coming with food to chicks. A very busy pair. To bad I could not see the young ones. It was interesting to see that the birds behaviour had changed a bit. They were more active and not so close to the tree as they normally are.

    Very good captures of the Creeper. I have yet to get a good capture of our Brown Creeper.

    Wow, what a great sighting. How in the world did you spot that nest? The crack in that tree doesn't look large enough to accommodate a nest. Amazing!

    Terrific capture of a neat little bird, so well camouflaged (for which I envy them)

    That bird is certainly well hidden with colors so similar to the bark of the tree. Great photos.

    How did I fidn the nest? I noticed the first bird behaving different from what it used to do. Then the next one appeared. I never seen two of them before. Then it was easy to see where they went with the goodies. :)
    Glad you liked it. I thought you would.

    Nydelige bilder av trekryperen. Den er så hurtig i bevegelsene at jeg synes den er vanskelig å få noe godt bilde av den. Du har greid det på en flott måte synes jeg.

    Great find and capture! Such a tight spot for a nest - I suppose it's cozy and fairly safe from predators.

    Måste tillstå att det är härliga bilder på Trädkryparen. Värmde säkert din själ, liksom min. Kul att skåda dem, och att du fick syn på boet. Det har jag iaf. aldrig sett. Kul!
