I’ve been so focused on finding Australian Terrestrial Orchids over Spring that I haven’t really been looking out for new bird species. Yesterday, I was still hunting for flowers when a bird landed on a nearby tree. Its habit of climbing up and around the tree trunk looking for insects alerted me to the possibility of it being a treecreeper, so took a few photographs… and yes, it is a White-Throated Treecreeper. The markings show it to be an immature female bird. The captions on the photographs that follow outline how to identify this bird.
