Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Certhiidae > Certhia > Certhia brachydactylaCerthia brachydactyla (Short-toed Treecreeper)Synonyms: Certhia brachydactyla bureaui; Certhia brachydactyla parisi The short-toed treecreeper (Certhia brachydactyla) is a small passerine bird found in woodlands through much of the warmer regions of Europe and into north Africa. It has a generally more southerly distribution than the other European treecreeper species, the common treecreeper, with which it is easily confused where they both occur. The short-toed treecreeper tends to prefer deciduous trees and lower altitudes than its relative in these overlap areas. Although mainly sedentary, vagrants have occurred outside the breeding range. |
