White-throated Treecreeper |
Sightings
White-throated Treecreepers come to our place, 20 km south of Narrabri, New South Wales, and into the adjacent bush area, Jack's Creek State Forest infrequently. In late 2005, we also encountered a pair in Mount Kaputar National Park, some 50 km east of Narrabri. The identification of this bird is certain, because one can see the characteristic orange spot of the female. Spotted again in October of 2006 near Barraba, New South Wales.

We have taken a another photo, with the bird on the front side of the tree trunk, but one can hardly see it. The camouflage is almost perfect.

In different light they can appear much darker than shown above
