Joining in with
@nibswatercolours #nibsbirdpaintalong with June's bird of the month the tree creeper. I drew this tree creeper a couple of years ago in my nature journal and still haven't completely finished the page 😄. I love seeing tree creepers, they're very distinctive in the way they spiral up a tree, always starting from the base of the trunk working their way up.
Heres a few quick facts about the Eurasian tree creeper -
Tree creepers live in woodland habitats, where they climb up the trunks of the trees to look for invertebrates in the bark.
Tree creepers are also called the tree mouse in some regions, due to how they scuttle up trees.
They're monogamous, with both parents feeding the chicks. Interestingly the male will search the bottom of the trunk and females will search the top (I guess so not to waist time in searching the same part of the tree as it's partner).
It's been an age since I've posted here on my art account. I've been posting some journal pages over on my nature journaling account
@creating.with.nature but I will hopefully soon have more art to post on here too. I have a project in mind, which I've been meaning to start for years. It'll be a challenge for me, as I'm out of practice with my art, but I'm going to give it ago anyway 😄. More to come soon on this 😊.
Happy creating🖌️🎨, hope you're all well 💚.
