Certhia brachydactyla
Small passerine bird (12.5 centimetres long). Like other treecreepers, Short-toed is brown above with streaked and spotted brown upperparts, and whitish below, and has a long curved bill and stiff tail feathers. It is a resident in woodlands throughout its range, and nests in tree crevices or behind bark flakes, laying about six eggs. This common, unwary, but inconspicuous species feeds mainly on insects which are picked from the tree trunk as the treecreeper ascends with short hops.
