See the size of that foot!!! (Climacteris rufus)

After breakfast we set off for about an hour inland to Pongorup National Park, a dry forest.

We stopped first at the rather intriguingly named Tree in Rock day use area and sat at one of the tables for a cuppie. Within a minute a Rufous Treecreeper showed himself to us.... what a beauty he is!!!

It wasn't until I was preparing the picture today that I noticed how large his feet seemed to be!

What a spectacular species of treecreeper. Beautiful colors, eye contact, and yes, those large feet and nails. Great pose and setting. Awesome bird and picture D! TFS!
