My and my wife's cars are constantly spattered by a Brown Thornbill which nests in the nearby hedge.

We tolerate it mainly because he sings beautifully while attacking his reflection. J

I was rather surprised to see recently a Spotted P engaging its reflection in a neighbour's car mirror. I was surprised because I haven't seen such behaviour in this species before.

We have a Spotted Pardalote which is spending some time attacking its reflection in one our windows. I assume that it is establishing/defending a breeding territory.
