Australian Brown Tree Creeper

This is the Australian version of a Brown Tree Creeper. They are solitary birds or as a pair. They nest in slight hollows in trees and line the nest with soft material. Male and females are similar. They creep trees by starting near the base and spiral up to the top, then start again on the next tree. This bird was nesting and kept coming back to this perch after each feeding session.

Nikon Z 8 with 600 pf @ 1260. 1.4 TC plus DX mode.

F9, 1/2500s. ISO 6400
Manual setting and HH.

I am very pleased with the Z8 and the 600pf 6.3 combo.
It works well with the 1.4 TC and in DX mode if I need the reach.
I can hand hold it from a seated position and get good sharp shots.
For a 78 year old woman I think that is great.
