Yesterday I posted to the group with the opinion (first given to me by
someone on this group, then reinforced by various observations)that the
calls of the migratory ssp of the Striated Pardalote (striatus, the nominate
race, breeds Tasmania, disperses over mainland se Australia in the
winter)are louder than that of the resident race.
Not five minutes after hitting the send button we had our first
non-Tasmanian Silvereyes of the winter in our yard, and I gained the
impression that their calls were softer than the migratory Tasmanian race's.
Can anyone confirm this?
