On Saturday morning I was on my usual walk near
Shaw Park about 6 km on north side of central Brisbane when I heard Striated
Pardalotes calling. Not unusual as they are around all year and breed in
the creek banks close by. However there were 22 of them (possibly a few
more) and they were sitting on a wire between flights. I did not have my
binos with me so I could not see if they we all of the same race. I
believe that those that we usually see here are Race melanocephalus. I
know we also have Race ornatus at times.
Next time I will take the binoculars!
