Striated Pardalote

Striated and Spotted Pardalotes build their nests in holes in sandy banks. Here the hole of a Striated Pardalote. I was unable to photograph the bird going in and out of the hole because it always popped in and out very quickly.
These two Striated Pardalotes are perched just above the hole pictured above. At least one of them is the owner of the hole.
Another close shot of the Striated Pardalote outside its hole. There are 6 races of the Striated Pardalote.

The Ranger told me there are orchids, coastal heath and Platypus in the conservation area. He has not seen the Platypus lately.
