Just getting back to the Pardalotes...in my experience whenever I see a larger
bird "chasing" a significantly smaller bird (ie the chase appears to be
territorial, not trying to catch the smaller bird for food anyway), it is
virtually always a Pardalote that is being pursued, as opposed to Silvereyes,
Thornbills etc.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I have now checked HANZAB which lists small passerines and some non-passerines
in the diet of the Australian Magpie. Richard's (Australasian) Pipit and
pardalote are both listed. Some of these would be as carrion (roadkills etc.).
I am not totally convinced that all attacks by Magpies on pipits constitute
foraging as I have witnessed this on dozens of occasions but have never
observed a kill.
