G'Day All

In the last 3 day's as I wait to catch my regular bus from home to get to   
the Sation for work, I have observed a Striated Pardalote (Red-tipped   
eastern form) feeding in a small Eucalyptus a metre away from where I   
wait for the bus. It appears to to feeding on lerps and tends to move off   
just before the Bus arrives (on Monday morning it almost ran in to me   
when It took off). Like most Pardalote's they tend to be quite unafraid   
of humans when feeding and I find it amazing that its has been feeding in   
the same tree at this time of the morning (6:30 am) in the last 3 days in   
a row. However this could be the tree where it roosts.
