Short-toed Tree Creeper
Not the most easy bird to capture, I can tell you :biggrin: This is the first time I'm more then pleased by the results.

iso 250 1/50 sec. F4

I should think you are Edwin. Excellent shot and of course it would have to be short-toed

Yeah I'd be well happy with that too!

Thanks Major:)

We have another one here in Holland and that's the Eurasian treecreeper, but that's a whole different game to catch.

Great shot - a very tricky bird to photograph well.
Well done.

Lovely shot! This had me reaching for the books. Seems you did very well as they are apparently very similar.

Lovely shot! This had me reaching for the books. Seems you did very well as they are apparently very similar. Out of interest, I've posted a shot of the usual one to point out the difference (according to the book). Yours has a duller underbody and a saw tooth appearance across wings, whiter wing tips. Fascinating!

Edwin, stunning stuff.. I was only saying earlier in the day that it would be nice to get one of those or at least the local one anyway..! See lots of the Nuthatch but not so many of these.. Up to your usual, very high standard.
