I found a pair of treecreepers building their nest in an old tree stump yesterday.
Went back this morning to grab a few shots and noticed that today they were carrying feathers and wool whereas yesterday it was twigs and grass. So I guess the nest is almost completed and now they are adding the final lining before egg laying.
Treecreepers are so confiding and although I stood a long way back with a 500mm lens they never gave me a second glance and went on with the business unhindered.
I've always found that with this species, and it's such a joy to watch them and also to know that we have them in the locality and that they're breeding.
