Our Birdlife Melbourne BBQ was a great success, as you have probably already heard. Committe member, Millie Scicluna organised the event (with her parents doing the cooking), and salads provided by various other members. But the surprise you may not have seen was the Striated Pardalote at nest which Millie found in the carpark.
On the following Monday I visited the bird again and made this HD video of the bird singing away on his doorstep. That seemed to be a hazardous occupation, but he was obviously pleased with himself.
Adriana can now show us videos on our blog – so here is the Striated Pardalote:
You will probably never forget his call!
