An
Eastern Striated Pardalote (
Pardalotus striatus ornatus) with nesting material in its mouth. This
subspecies of the Striated Pardalote, the least colourful and most common of the four pardalote species, is found in
subtropical areas of
Eastern Australia. They are more often heard than seen, foraging noisily for
lerps and other small creatures in the treetops.
