A main #pardalote food source is #lerps formed by psyllid insects growing on eucalypts. This #LandforWildlife article delves into lerps' ecological role. It explains why pardalotes mostly stay high up trees. 🪶🧪

Friends from NZ visited a few weeks ago, & Ian's camera caught what I couldn't - the spotted #pardalote building a nest in the end assembly of our retractable clothesline. Sharing this even though the #birds eventually chose somewhere else nearby to nest. Seen around since; into #AussieBirdCount.
Nominate your favourite #bird for #AustralianBirdOfTheYear. I've just nominated the spotted #pardalote, as a pair of them cheep away outside our back door. Their crucial ecological role as psyllid ('lerp') control matches their undeniable beauty. 🪶 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Spotted Pardalotes are one of Australia's smallest birds and such a delight to see 😍 They build their nests underground, often in the bank of a river 🌿

You've probably heard this call. It's a Striated Pardalote which is found throughout Australia. (Pardalotus striatus) Hervey Bay, Qld 🪶

See you out there!
A Spotted Pardalote perched on a small twig. It is looking at the camera side on. It has a golden yellow chin, throat and rump. It has a pale belly and a white-spotted black crown and white eyebrows. White spots travel down its back.
Spotted Pardalotes are native to Australia and one of our smallest birds at 8-10 cm in length! They are also one of my favourite Australian birds. I saw this one entering and exiting its small nest burrow in a soil bank along a walking track.

The Spotted Pardalote is a small bird that is most often high in a eucalypt canopy, so it is more often detected by its characteristic call. The wings, tail and head of the male are black and covered with small, distinct white spots. Males have a pale eyebrow, a yellow throat and a red rump. In the image a male spotted pardalote is standing on a thin branch looking to the right.
Male Spotted Pardalote.
Love these little birds. Spend their time in the tree tops, only see them in spring when its breeding season.

An original digital illustration by Loadofolbobbins of a Spotted Pardalote perching on a weathered branch. It’s a small puffed up kind of bird with black feathered wings and head that have white spotted markings on. Its chest and body feathers are a cream colour with tones of yellow and orange. The throat feathers have a small rounded patch of vibrant yellowy orange colour. It has a small rounded grey beak. The background of the image is plain white.
It’s the last day of #BirbFest2025 🥲 so I hope you all enjoy this Spotted Pardalote, decided to go a big rogue with this one and not do a background!

It doesn’t matter how many times I see one, every pardalote I come across gives me just as much joy as the first. I just love them so much!

A spotted pardalote sits on a brick window ledge. Its wings and the top of its head are black with lots of small white spots. Its breast is pale, with a bright orange patch under its chin.
Spotted Pardalote, our backyard, early October.
You buy just one big ol' zoom lens and all of a sudden you find yourself turning into a bird photographer...

For half of each year (the warmer months) pardalotes nest in my roof. From about ten nests, they sing like this constantly from dawn until dusk. This nest is right outside an upstairs window, making that room an ideal hide. #AustralianBirds #Pardalote #Tasmania #SoundsOfSummer
