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!

Nice pics and Birds

Great shots! We have spotteds around here. Those as natamambo said are striated. We get those sometimes too love them all!

Good work and thanks for sharing.

Realised the difference after i had posted it.I used to have Spotteds down the coast,but,these are the Striated Pardalotes.Won't be long and they will have laid and have young ones.Thanks.

Great photos and lovely birds.

Have the spottedes nesting in a sleeper wall in the garden,great to watch ,garyh
