Spotted Pardalote on the Road to Mt Buller (1) by Alwyn Simple
My shots of the day for Today. Can you believe that this little bird is less than 3 inches or 8 cm long. The detail is amazing for such a small creature.
Stopped to photograph some Flame robins along the side of the road up to Mt Buller and this little bird greeted us. I think I must have been near its nest hole. They dig a hole into a earth bank and build their nest at the end of the tunnel.
