Last year at Callum Brae there were several Striated Pardalote nests in the creek bank.

I would have thought that unusual. It is typical for Spotted Pardalotes but Striated Pardalote usually use tree hollows. However Beruldsen's book says about Striated Pardalote "Also nests in holes in creek banks and the like when suitable above-ground hollows are not available."
