A record shot that's.... (Certhia familiaris)

.... only suitable for Saturday Fun.

I hardly ever get the chance to photograph Treecreepers and I do find them tricky at the best of times. However, my friend had seen one at the feeding station we go to so I was on high alert to see if he'd return... which he did this day.

He showed well and clear when I first spotted him but by the time I got the camera swung round he'd moved higher up the tree, then disappeared behind it. This was the only picture I got which showed more than just the white underparts!

But at least I've recorded a new species for the patch. Some birds just don't make life easy for us, do they.
