Breeds in woods, often with coniferous element. Prefers denser patches. Mostly resident, but population in N and E periodically wander southward.

Identification: Has on average somewhat shorter bill than Short-toed Treecreeper, and at beast birds in N Europe are whiter below, have whiter supercilium and whiter, more contrasting pale spots on crown /mantle. (Continental birds of both species are, however, very similarly coloured.) Fine differences exist in wing pattern (see plate) but require photograph or extremely close view. Voice is best clue!
