There are a few vaders also in the background. This is a very nice wetland watered by the tides. I visited the area last summer.

Yesterday was a great day at the forest feeder. I was standing there watching the usual tits and nuthatchers when I noticed something different on the ground. Took a while before I realized it was a Treecreeper. Never seen it on the ground like that. So this time I got some nice shots of it from different angles. The last shot, that´s some great camoflage, don´t you think. :)

I have been wondering about this bird. Now I was able to get shots where you can see the curved, tail, feathers. So, this has to be a drake. And with no color it also has to be an albino.

This is the same bird in both shots. The shadow of the wing makes it look compleately different in the upper shot.
