I'm not sure whether it was a sort of warning or just didn't care! They must be one of the most attractive small birds around, and as you say, it's always satisfying getting useable shots of them.BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-87125364133427671112007-05-07T10:58:00.000+10:002007-05-07T10:58:00.000+10:00It always amazes me how confiding Pardalotes can b...It always amazes me how confiding Pardalotes can be; I've had some very close encounters with them.

My last post on them was at a nest site, and I frequently get them in my garden, but despite that, they seem to elude me photographically. On this occasion they were at times just too close to focus on, and seemingly quite fearless!BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-42748617793536833892007-05-06T17:04:00.000+10:002007-05-06T17:04:00.000+10:00Brilliant little birds Alan, you did well to get t...Brilliant little birds Alan, you did well to get them in the canopy. They're relatively easy if you can find their nest, they often allow a very close approach. Great shots in the previous post too.Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182951711946882353noreply@blogger.com
