Spotted Pardalotes

["Barbara Preston" <>]

is the male or female more aggressive? Some years ago a pair attacked my first floor office window (distractingly easy to view over the monitor) many times over many weeks/months. The female was much more aggressive, often making hard contact with the glass, while the male generally avoided contact and spent more time strutting, preening himself and singing etc ....

May be a good idea to drape a cloth over the mirrors while parked there. To reduce the problem.

Over the last two days a pair of spotted pardalotes have been attacking the mirror on my car while parked in the drive in Macgregor,As far as I no there isn’t a nest site close. Its also the first time we have seen them in our garden.
