One of my favorite little birds is the eurasiantree creeper it is so funny when it runs up and down the tree barks and because of it camouflage color it is often difficult to spot. Every time when I see it I am very happy. The easiest way of finding it is knowing that the bird species lives in the specific forest and keep on concentrating on movement that you see on barks of trees, especially conifers. The Eurasian tree creeper typically seeks invertebrate food on tree trunks, starting near the tree base and working its way up using its stiff tail feathers for support.

So if you see a bird moving upwards on the bark of a conifer it might be the Eurasian treecreeper looking for some insects and spiders to eat there. If you happen to find it from the side view it is easier to recognize since it has a white bottom. The top feathers of the bird give it a very good camouflage and if you only see the back of it it is very difficult to find. In the forest it was a bit dark and that's why I had to shoot some pictures with high ISO but eventhough the light was not perfect I am pretty happy with these pictures.

I am so happy that now in spring there are more and more species visible here in Austria, Winter has only a few interesting birds and in spring it is also a lot more comfortable if you don't always need a warm coat to go for a photography trip. At the moment I am preparing myself for a photography trip to a new spot before I visit my father and my sisters for easter today afternoon.
