wallcreeper

Marsham is still the only person in Norfolk to have recorded the wallcreeper bird.

It is a noted location to see the wallcreeper, an uncommon cliff-dwelling bird.

There are two subspecies of Wallcreeper:

Tichodromadidae: Wallcreeper.

The Wallcreeper (Tichodroma muraria) is a small passerine bird found throughout the high mountains of Eurasia.

Thus mountain and moorland breeders, such as Wallcreeper and White-throated Dipper, may move only altitudinally to escape the cold higher ground.

Tichodromadidae: Wallcreeper: Traditionally placed as a subfamily of the nuthatches and more rarely of the treecreepers, no study has been able to verify either placement this far.

The Northern Djendem is home to the Balkan chamois (alpine goat), brown bear, grey wolf, red deer, roe, golden eagle, peregrine falcon, and wallcreeper.

The region is home to Eurasian wildlife such as the Caucasian Black Grouse, Ring Ouzel, Red-fronted Serin, and Wallcreeper.

Typical animal species for the Schwarza are the: Otter, Grey Wagtail, Grey Heron, Wallcreeper, White-throated Dipper, Grayling, Brown trout and Bullhead.

Also are possible to see Black Woodpecker "Dryocopus martius", Red-billed Chough "Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax", Wallcreeper "Tichodroma muraria", White-throated Dipper "Cinclus cinclus", Citril Finch "Serinus citrinella" among others.

The fossil record for this group appears to be restricted to a foot bone of an early Miocene bird from Bavaria which has been identified as an extinct representative of the climbing Certhioidea, a clade comprising the treecreepers, Wallcreeper and nuthatches.

Sometimes the Wallcreeper (Tichodroma muraria), which is restricted to the mountains of southern Eurasia, is placed in the same family as the nuthatches, but in a separate subfamily "Tichodromadinae", in which case the nuthatches are classified in the subfamily "Sittinae".

Musala is situated within the Rila National Park, which is noted for its rich flora, including species such as Macedonian Pine and Bulgarian Fir in the forests on its middle slopes, and fauna; it is one of the easiest places in Europe to see the wallcreeper.
