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.
