Thought i might share some photo's of my Spotted Pardalotes nesting.Well,there not really mine,i have a nesting box under my verandah and they have been nesting there for years.Usually they have 2-3 nests a season and i look forward to seeing them each year.The little buggers are quite hard to photogragh,they fly in and out rather quickly.The nest box is a large budgie box and i have put a piece of thick cardboard over the original hole.This cardboard has a smaller hole cut in it to stop the sparrows from getting in.Hope everybody likes them.Regards Dale.

Nice pics, and your lucky to have them so close - but they are striated pardalotes. Yellow on eye stripe, pale brown back, stripes rather than spots on head.

Good on you Dale for giving them a place to breed and thanks for sharing your photos with us.
They're such magic little birds!
