A W-t Treecreeper used to roost over my porch for years and produced over a cupful of poo under it’s roosting spot when it suddenly stopped coming there about 5 years ago. I presume it had died. Others were still around. After an absence of a year or so I saw one in my yard in Aranda yesterday.

I photographed a W-t Treecreeper in the Botanic Gardens on 22nd January.
I don't know how often they're seen there?

I don't know how much answer you are hoping for, they are not much of a town species. I do think it of significance though, that although I have been living at my current home (in Kambah) since 1985 (and done GBS since then), I have only ever had one GBS record of a White-throated Treecreeper. Not just in my area but in my actual yard. That was in the week (maybe even the day) immediately after the 18-1-2003 fire and that bird stayed pretty much on my tree for several days. The motivation for it moving into suburb appeared pretty obvious to me. Of course I don't know what happened to it after that.

How's the White-Throated Tree Creeper observations going around town?
I've been hearing one (hopefully 'them') at the base of Mt Taylor (Kambah side) over the last 2 months.
Nothing like their call to give you the feel of being up in the mountains ;)
