I loved the scratch and papery rustle of her little claws on the peeling bark as she spiralled up the trunk.

Such a beautiful little bird. I'm glad you photograph her, so I here in California can admire such a sight.
Thanks Robin :-) I'm so glad I can share photographs of my world so easily now. The Internet has its downsides, but the benefits are huge.
Pete, your appreciative description of the sound she is making, in addition to the beautiful clear details of claws and fluff and bright eye, makes the subtle particularity of this moment feel very alive!
Thanks Christy. It'd be nice to be able to include sound with these photographs from time to time, but then I'd probably want to add video, and ... yes, well. I'll stick to still photographs and words for now :-)
a lovely image...so sharp yet showing those soft and fluffy feathers
Still photographs + words = perfect!
Females apparently eat more insects etc when breeding (Sept - Feb) and also feed them to the chicks.
gz, thanks :-)
Christy, :-)
Andrew, that makes sense. I hadn't thought of that, but it's nice to think she might be nesting somewhere nearby.
Bird at work.
Zhoen, it was working intently.
