Spotted Pardalote - in my backyard!

This morning for the first time ever the Spotted Pardalotes decided to come out of the river bushland and a pair even came into my backyard and started calling to each other. This is the best shot I have of this species so far.

Thanks for looking.

Awesome shot!
I'm a bit frustrated by the small birds in my backyard at the moment!! It's lovely to have them, but very difficult to get good photos! In the last week alone I've seen Striated + Spotted pardalotes, silvereyes, New Hollands, Greenfinches + Goldfinches. Still yet to get a decent photo of any of them! I think they know when I have my camera out. They go from sitting out on prominent branches when I'm out gardening to hiding or flying away as soon as the camera is in sight!! :)
Thanks for sharing,
Scott.

Well done Owen, I know you wanted a photo of one for a long time. Nice and sharp !!!
Scott, it's all about persistance, it will happen. I have just oiled all the doors, because every time I went outside they squeaked and the birds flew off, now I can sneak up on them. LOL
