Spotted pardalote        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Several species of pardalotes are found in a variety of habitats in Australia; the spotted pardalote shown here is one of the most widely distributed. These tiny birds nest in holes in the ground. The pictures were taken near Lake Eacham on the Atherton Tablelands in tropical Queensland.
