Eurasian Treecreeper
Certhia familiaris Linnaeus, 1758
Certhiidae — Treecreepers
Eurasian Treecreeper, Certhia familiaris, is a widespread breeding bird across the Palearctic and a member of the treecreeper family. It lives in woods of many kinds, and in western Europe it is more often found in conifer forests or at higher elevations where it overlaps with the Short-toed Treecreeper. Its most useful field mark is its different song from that similar species. In the British Isles it is the only living member of its genus and is simply called treecreeper. Linnaeus described it in 1758.
