  2. It is Eurasian, not European, that's why it didn't come up. You should use the scientific name (Certhia familiaris) to avoid misidentification. Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

The Eurasian treecreeper or common treecreeper is a small passerine bird also known in the British Isles, where it is the only living member of its genus, simply as treecreeper. It is similar to other treecreepers, and has a curved bill, patterned brown upperparts, whitish underparts, and long stiff tail feathers which help it creep up tree trunks. It can be most easily distinguished from the similar short-toed treecreeper, which shares much of its European range, by its different song.
