Not had a very productive day today, but did manage this Treecreeper.
Not managed one before so a bit pleased, but it's LS cropped to portrait and then a bit cropped off the top.
Highlights are a bit hot and for some reason my system won't hold its calibration, so if there's a cast then I apologise.
May not get a chance to look till the end of the week, my broadband connection at home is broken and I am in working away from tomorrow till the end of the week...
All the best

Looks good to me-not an easy bird-Nice to get it with a nice blue sky as a background-tree bark is very appealing as well-Nice one

Hello Andy.
Thats one superb chance shot, and I would be very pleased with it. I have a few chances with these in the past, but im affraid to say they were all rubbish so well done.

I've never managed to even see one of these yet. Good chance shot. I got a chance shot yesterday of a Dartford Warbler but it is terrible and not really worth keeping.

Hey Andy where do you buy these stuffed Treecreepers from? Quite sharp for thee.

Nice shot, but flatter looking than your usual - what's going on? The nuthatch was similarly afflicted. For your next mission should you choose to accept it, how about a treecreeper going up one side of the tree and a nuthatch coming down the other? Eric

Thanks for looking
The whites look fine on my monitor.
Very nice "chance" shot. I saw a couple myself today, but nothing as good as this. Just looks a little flat on my calibrated screen.

Hi Andy , a chance shot well taken
Regards
Andy...
It's not easy to photograph a treecreeper, but you did very well. Very nice shot!

Whats the 'dirty' bit in the sky to the right and top?
I've cleaned it up a bit - does it look better now?
Wait 'til I post my other good 'un from yesterday - you might like that and there's no mucky sky either
