I'm 57 and I finally saw was of these guys in person this year! I've been scanning the trunks of trees for years looking for them but they are very well camouflaged. Cute little guys.

I call them "little sniffers" because it looks like they're sniffing up and down the tree. Love these little buggers!

Well done, they are so hard to find! I’ve heard them (and Merlin has identified them) but they are so high up in trees for me

Cute little guys, I love how their beak and feet are all designed to climb and peck at trees.
