Bird Sightings: Treecreeper Sightings Have Increased by 140 Per Cent in One Year

The treecreeper is small, very active, bird that lives in trees. It has a long, slender, downcurved bill. It is speckly brown above and mainly white below. It breeds in the UK and is resident here. Birds leave their breeding territories in autumn but most range no further than 20 km.
