Hi,
I have Spotted Pardalotes nesting in my backyard in Happy Valley (Southern
suburb of Adelaide) which is pretty cool.
Cheers,
Peter.

Evening all,
Not been too bad a week around these parts. The Mrs found a dead Striated
Pardalote on the edge of the Parklands early in the week and we've seen and
heard a few more since (thankfully live). The Musk Lorikeets appear to be
looking in every nest hole going in the parks and a few more Sulphur-crested
Cockatoos have been around. The Red-rumped Parrots that could be found in the
plane trees up and down Pulteney Street appear to have mostly cleared off
again, leaving the remaining seeds to the many Eastern Rosellas. As ever,
there's a good mix of Welcome Swallows and Tree Martins along Glen Osmond Road.
Best local bird of the week was a juvenile Hobby in the park across the road
with every Noisy Miner in a half-mile radius alerting us to its presence as it
came in and perched in a pine.
Laughing Kookaburras have moved in near the Chemistry Department up at the
university, making some of the students stand and watch while they cackle.
Lots of Wood Ducks calling from roof tops on the campus at the moment too.
Over at Greenfields Wetlands, we saw a group of at least six Nankeen
Night-herons, of which a few were juveniles and lovely views of a Black-winged
Kite hovering over us, both of which were lifers for the Mrs and kids. A small
group of Grey Shrike-thrushes were also about.
Between there and Mawson Lakes station, there were a few Black-fronted
Dotterels and a single Fairy Martin.
Cheers,
Tony
