The pair of pardalotes that have been checking out
(or attacking - that's the female!) their 'rival' in my 1st floor office
window daily (many times daily, usually) since February also sometimes spend
time under the timber balcony (opens off my office) - I assume that they are
looking for little spiders etc to eat, and maybe a nook to nest in (though that
would be too close to their 'rival', I suppose) - the wasps nests that are there
are very small. There's wisteria screening one side, and they spend time in it,
too. I do not spend much time under the balcony, so they could be there more
often than I'm aware of.

PS Eastern spinebill sings for such an
extraordinarily long time and at such high volume that it must circular breathe
