Wallcreepers are fantastic little birds. In flight, as they fly from rock to rock, they look like a butterfly or hawkmoth, with scarlet wings and not much of a tail. They investigate crevices on rock faces like Treecreepers do on trees. They cling onto sheer rock and dangle off at seemingly-impossible angles. Occasionally, they stop for a while, and that's your best chance of getting photos...
