 On Saturday morning I was on my usual walk near
Shaw Park about 6 km on north side of central Brisbane when I heard Striated
Pardalotes calling.  Not unusual as they are around all year and breed in
the creek banks close by.  However there were 22 of them (possibly a few
more) and they were sitting on a wire between flights.  I did not have my
binos with me so I could not see if they we all of the same race.  I
believe that those that we usually see here are Race melanocephalus.  I
know we also have Race ornatus at times. 
Next time I will take the binoculars!
