Great shots, and thanks for naming them! The treecreeper is wonderfully camouflaged.

[seasonoftowers]

And, trusting its camouflage, completely unafraid. Almost sparrow-like in its lack of stress when a big human was getting close to it

The tree creeper's camouflage is amazing!

We get the long tailed tit here too! Attractive little birds.

[seasonoftowers]

Yes, they're such sweethearts!

Nice shots! The treecreeper looks a lot like a kind of nuthatch that we get here in the US.

[seasonoftowers]

Similar ecological niche, yes - they're both bark insect nommmers! Although this one nuthatch I saw earlier managed to raid some other bird/squirrel's stash

Great pictures - I love the one of the camouflaged treecreeper, but that wren is so delightfully round and grumpy-looking. Thanks for sharing!

[seasonoftowers]

Hah, real life Angry Bird, yes

Lovely bird photos 😊

[seasonoftowers]

Thanks!

These are wonderful pictures. That wren looks cross, though! :D

[seasonoftowers]

Had hoped to get a shot of it in profile (they have the most adorable little tails) but it was too busy screaming at me :D

[angrboda]

They do that, wrens. Tiny bird, but such a bully. You wouldn't think something that little could make so much noise, but they can really shout! We get one in the garden every now and then, but it's on it's own so that one doesn't make too much noise. I did see a small flock in a park once and they had seen a cat on the ground. It was a most amazing racket.

[seasonoftowers]

Oh I saw one yelling at a cat yesterday, actually. It was low to the ground, in a briar too dense and thorny for the cat to walk through, and it was just...yelling bloody murder at the cat, who tried its best to ignore it.

Aw, great to see!

[seasonoftowers]

Thanks!

The truculent expression on the wren is LULZ

[seasonoftowers]
