Spotted pardalote are tiny and fast which makes photographing them a little tricky. Was nice to see them visit this morning.

Another different visitor this morning. A couple of spotted pardalote were darting in and out of the gum tree.

Before we found the Regent Honeyeaters, we had a lovely interaction with this Spotted Pardalote.
It happily foraged and listened to the camera shutter, just 3-4m away from us for almost a minute, before heading it its way.

A Spotted Pardalote we encountered at the Highfields Falls reserve, just out of Toowoomba.

Completely fearless and quite curious, it foraged around about 3-4m away from us for a good minute before moving on.

We interrupt your regular program for this important announcement.

I've finally managed to photograph my local Spotted Pardalotes. My BirdNet-Pi has detected their call for weeks now, but I hadn't managed to see one.

This fellow happened to pop down for a peek when I was returning from the letterbox.
