| Subject: | Lots of pardalotes at my home |

Over the last week I
have had big mixed flocks of both pardalote species around my house. Really hard
to count, especially as they are mixed in with Silvereyes and Weebills. By the
size of flocks streaming through the trees and the number seen moving out while
still having a lot left, the totals are at least 100 birds in the mixed flock.
What is also odd is that although I hear and see both Striated and Spotted
Pardalotes, what I hear is almost all Spotted Pardalotes but what I see is
mostly Striated Pardalotes. I am not getting my IDs wrong but it suggests
that there are lots of both and they are behaving differently. I also
suspect that there are a lot of juveniles of both species mixed
in.
