Daytime tawny frogmouth and spotted pardalote, Noosa North Shore

I've spent hours almost everyday from dawn until well past sunset for the past two weeks searching for koalas and echidnas with no success what so ever. It's not been completely wasted time though, I've picked up a lot of decent birds in the process, and none better than the pair I found today. First off I spotted these two daytime roosting tawny frogmouths apparently sunbathing, and then later a stunning male spotted pardalote.




Unfortunately the photos don't do this bird justice, spotted pardalote.


It's winter in Australia at the moment, but these birds breed at this time of year. I wondered if this bird might be using this hole in the tree.
