Like a little sailor in his own boat, this White-browed Tree-creeper makes good use of this hollow in a dead tree in an Outback waterway.

Climacteridae (Climacteris affinis)
The White-browed Treecreeper, is one of six species of Australian treecreepers (family Climacteridae). It is a small bird (135-150 mm long) with an earth-brown upper body and greyish crown and nape. The wings are dusky brown with a pale buff band across the flight feathers. A white eyebrow with streaked black and white ear coverts and black bill are characteristic. The breast is plain mid-grey and the belly boldly striped black and white. The female is similar to the male but with the upper breast striped rufous and dull white, with red over the eyebrow.
The White-browed Treecreeper is usually silent, but it does have a call of cricket-like trills and a strident chirrup song that is repeated by the male from a vantage point. It is an unobtrusive bird, usually seen in pairs or small groups foraging for invertebrates on the trunks of trees and shrubs and on fallen limbs. Breeding occurs from August to December. Nests are located in hollows and are made from a collection of grass and shreds of bark lined with fur or hair (Pizzey 1980). Two or three pink eggs with purplish red spots are laid. The White-browed Treecreeper inhabits southern arid and semi-arid areas of Australia, from Kalgoorlie eastwards to Gawler, the Flinders Ranges and the Victorian Mallee.
