Description
Picture taken at Thibessart’s pond on April 30, 2012.
The Short-toed Treecreeper, Certhia brachydactyla, is a small passerine bird found in woodlands through much of the warmer regions of Europe and into north Africa. It has a generally more southerly distribution than the other European treecreeper species, the Common Treecreeper, with which it is easily confused where they both occur. (It can be most easily distinguished by its different song).
Le Grimpereau des jardins (Certhia brachydactyla) est une petite espèce de passereau de la famille des Certhiidae. C'est un petit oiseau (12 à 13,5 cm de longueur pour un poids de 8 à 12 g), de couleur plutôt terne avec des rayures brunes sur le dessus et blanches sur le dessous. Il a une queue raide qui l'aide à se maintenir sur les troncs d'arbres lorsqu'il y recherche des insectes. Son bec est long et incurvé vers le bas. Ses pattes étant relativement courtes, il donne l'impression d'être plaqué contre le tronc sur lequel il est posé.
Le meilleur moyen de le distinguer du Grimpereau des bois (Certhia familiaris), avec lequel il partage une grande partie de sa répartition européenne, reste son chant.

Fantastic shot Michel, an instant fav.
Never heard of or seen a treecreeper. Beautifully crisp & brightly lit image & the moss provides a great background...
Fantastic capture-I always thought that capturing bird's was easy work but i soon learned different-great capture
Very nice capture. Well done.
A neat little guy. We have Brown Creepers here, but I have yet to see one. Thank you for sharing. This nice, crisp shot shows that he is prettier than ours. I like the moss.
Cool capture interesting bird
I little mouse I would call it.. A little mouse in a tree. In a way they behave the same way as a mouse.. A beautiful capture
Cute little guy and a beautiful shot.
Excellent capture!
Wonderful capture!
Amazing! The light and color are simply superb, and the little guy looks quite intent on something of extreme importance. I love the "tall" feeling of this image.

Nature is fantastic and you took great capture of this bird.
joli petit zoiseau, très répendu dans le sud-ouest.
lovely!!!
Very beautiful capture ! Very lovely bird ! In Italia : Rampichino Comune
Beautiful shot. Hard to shoot these guys like this; my camera tends to focus on the tree trunk and not the bird, even using centre-point af. Tree looks fascinating - lots of hiding places for insects. I bet nuthatches would like this too.
Difficult birds to keep still. Nice composition!
Great capture
Stunning. Your bird shots are fantastic.
