I want a Tree creeper

[gobbiner]

This is one of the few birds i havnt got a photo of, can anyone please give me a few tips ie can you tempt them with any kind of food or is it a case of just patience and waiting thank you...Ray

morning ray these pop up when you least expect them to, normally you will find them in wooded areas , parks and conifers, an ideal place not to far from you is healy dell nature reserve if you can get there, i think with a bit of luck you will get the photo, regards rossy

Try baiting a tree with pieces of meal worm and see what happens.Very hit and miss as Tree Creeper moves very quickly.

Funnily enough I got lucky yesterday with a treecreeper at RSPB Arne. You've just got to be in the right place at the right time I think. I did find them difficult to photograph as they never stay still for a second.

I'd familiarise yourself with the call which is quite a high pitched, short, sibiliant call and should be fairly unmistakeable. Good time of year to be seeking one out though as there's still a lot of light coming into the woodland.

The prime requisite for attracting treecreepers is ---a tree



Sorry but i just couldn't let that one go.

By the river behind my home is a small area running along the banks which contains mainly oak and holly, with a few very large firs in a garden adjoining the opposite bank, very rarely can i walk along the banks and not see at least one.
