Germany; Husum

I finally got around to looking for the ST Treecreepers in the town park in Husum. I wasn't sure how easy they would be to track down but the answer was very, and I found two individuals extremely approachable and very showy, interacting with each other and singing. I was a really enjoyable hour or so, wandering around the park. There was nothing else interesting on offer, but the Treecreepers really were excellent value.
