    I has a treecreeper on a Larch tree in the garden today. Are they common? It's a rural garden.

    Thank you.

    As this information https://birdwatchireland.ie/birds/treecreeper/ from Birdwatch Ireland states "widespread but unobtrusive" i.e. you don't tend to see them but they are there and quite common. :)

    i watched a treecreeper work a tree for about 10 minutes while sitting in the car on the phone yesterday, as it happens. the tree has bracket fungus on it so perhaps the nooks and crannies are already a little rotted with insects on them anyway.

    Same here - only once, saw one on a big cedar tree out my front window about 6 years ago. Sneaky divils!

    I was in a coillte woods 2 days ago and saw one, tried to show my family but it had corkscrewed around to the otherside.

    So fast and small easily missed

    And they only hunt "up" trees, never down.
