Brown Treecreeper

A bark-foraging bird of open eucalypt woodland in eastern Australia, working its way up tree trunks and along branches in short hops while probing bark crevices for insects, in a manner similar to a treecreeper elsewhere in the world. Family groups are often seen together, communicating with sharp, ringing calls, and favour woodland with mature trees carrying loose or furrowed bark. Old, standing dead timber in otherwise open country is a particularly reliable place to look.
