Here's photos of another pardalote species - Spotted Pardalote that I took in Western Australia a few years ago. These exist in Tasmania as well, but I haven't seen one yet.

Striated Pardalotes nest in tree hollows (which the pardies and bats think my house is), but Spotted ones dig holes in the ground for their nests.

Striated Pardalotes nest in the walls of my house from August to January then disappear for 6 months, but this year they've come back for a March pardy party.

#Bird Nerds! Would you like another episode from the archives on THe Bird Emergency? Of, course! I hear you say!
Here is a conversation with the fabulous Cat Young, talking (mostly) about the Forty-spotted Pardalote, a bird that is restricted and closely linked with one Eucalyptus species in SE Tasmania. #difficultbirds #endangeredspecies #ornithology #tasmania #wildoz #biodiversity #pardalotes
