Where to spot
Widespread across Eurasia and parts of North Africa. It is found in a variety of wooded habitats, including coniferous, deciduous, and mixed forests, as well as parks.
How to spot
Look closely at tree trunks, especially those with fissured bark, for a small bird hitching its way upwards. Listen for its high-pitched, thin, almost squeaky song, which helps distinguish it from the Short-toed Treecreeper.
When to spot
Observable throughout the year. They are often more conspicuous during the breeding season when males are singing, or in winter when foraging more openly on bare trees.

Its dull, mottled brown plumage provides exceptional camouflage against tree bark, making it one of the most perfectly camouflaged birds in its habitat.
