I have seen Spotted Pardalotes
nesting in Sydney a few times in the middle of winter, including a possible
breeding pair at Turramurra near the Fruit-dove site
yesterday.
Cheers!

Pardalotes
I was surprised to see a Spotted
Pardalote entering a nest hole at Audley in the Royal NP this morning (July 4).
I see the Morcombe Field Guide suggests a breeding season from June to
January, but it still seems very early to be breeding - it was 6 degrees at my
place the other night!
