Tree Creepers

Tree Creepers

I saw these tree creepers behind the Kilmore Cricket Club the other day, feeding upon insects under the bark of a very dead tree.

They are  little hard to tell apart from the sitellas. They are a little larger and in this case, the orange spot on the neck or cheek tells me that this is a White-Throated Tree Creeper. (Climacteris Leucophaea) 

You can sometimes pick them out as they make their way up tree trunks as they feed. That seems to be peculiar to these little birds. These were certainly very intent on their hunting and I was able to get quite close.
