The Spotted Pardalote has to be one of the most beautiful birds in Australia. They are easily overlooked due to their tiny size but are often heard in the forest giving their contact call as shown in the video. In this video, I have filmed the male who is hanging around a potential nesting bank. In the nesting season, they burrow a tunnel to lay their eggs. I filmed these on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Tim Siggs, ABVC. This bird Video is part of my channel started in 2015. My ambition is to showcase 500 Australian bird species. I am passionate about Bird Video as it Potentially shows bird behaviour, breeding and often bird song.
I began birdwatching when I was 12 and progressed to bird photography and then to bird Video for the past 15 years.
Originally from the UK, I find birding in Australia exciting and engaging. I have now travelled around Australia twice but mainly film birds in Queensland.
Many of the bird clips are taken from hides or blinds that I construct from bush materials, saving the need to carry a hide to a location.
Knowing bird calls and song is a big part of finding each species and naturally, knowing the habitat requirements helps also.
