A tree creeper in our garden today feeding on the ground under the feeders and in the undergrowth nearby. Its movements along the paving slabs under our feeders were just as mouse-like as when it's climbing the trunk of a tree - jerky, so that it almost seems to be in one place, then another, without seeing the movement between the two.
It was snowing steadily, and I'm reminded that on the only other occasion when I've watched a tree creeper foraging and feeding on the ground it was also snowing.
