Among the smallest of British birds, the Tree Creeper is often to be found moving around woodland in winter together with mixed flocks of tits. It feeds on insects it finds in nooks and crannies of tree trunks flying to the bottom of each trunk and working its way upward, scurrying along like a small mouse. Its plumage is quite beautiful when seen close to, as is the case with many species whose camouflaged plumage belies the beauty of its detail.
