Treecreeper.............................. just tree creeping

Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris)


I captured this lovely little Treecreeper in the same woods I got the clip of the Wren a few posts ago.
Kennel Woods is in the village of Sandiway where I spent my childhood.
 Visits bring back some lovely memories...
 Climbing trees, hide and seek, my first proper kiss (aged 10) lol.
I had heard the woods had been put on sale and that the local parish council were raising funds to buy them for the village so I was quite surprised to see a for sale sign on Kennel Lane.
 A gate has been erected alongside which is a bit daft as you can pass either side of it. 
  I need to investigate to find out whats going on.

    Brilliant shots of the Treecreeper. Andrew, please let me know what is going on to the woods, I thought that the government said they wouldn't sell it off.

    There's nothing like happy childhood memories, Andrew. I hope Kennel Woods is retained so others can have similar experiences.

    I only have a blurry featherball as proof that I've seen one ;)
    Hope they don't ruin another piece of beautiful nature :(

    What an elegant little bird. I do hope that the wood has been sold to someone suitable.
