The Wallcreeper

This is a bird associated with the steepest cliff slopes! It is found mainly in the mountains, from the Alps, all the way to the Himalayas. Cold snowy winters, however, can force it to migrate to stone buildings in the city centres!

This skilful climber, with its long curved beak and talon claws, hunts down insects concealed in the most remote rock crevices.

It is difficult to observe, unless you your eye catches it mid-flight. Its butterfly-like undulating circular movements with shimmering colours of grey, red and black are hard to miss!
