The rare of the two treecreepers on Amager. My first documented (second this day). Separated first of all by voice if heard, but visually best reliable field marks are: The even spacing between the visible primary tips 4, 5 and 6. The white edge to the alula. The darker, not so protruding tail shafts. The combination of the dusky flanks, grayish breast and whitish throat. The poor eyebrow in front of the eye. The long bill. The short hind-claw. The so-called 'latter' on the wing is more evenly spaced than on Common Treecreeper, though very variable the two between. There is considerable overlap between the two species why as many field marks, and preferably the voice too should be noted. I think all mentioned are visible to a varying degree and feel absolutely confident to call it of this species. This bird was not very vocal. Maybe I heard it sing vaguely once and only calling a few times, the sharper distinct and pointed note compared to the lisping note of Common Treecreeper. I saw in the SW-department of the forest. Another was present today too, 3501, in the eastern department close to the Collin-stone along the main road. |
