Spotted Pardalotes

Managed to get some images of the Spotted Pardalotes that have taken up residence in my backyard. I put some wire mesh around their burrow entrance to keep them safe from domestic predators.
All taken with the Canon 5DH and 300mm F2.8L at f/5 and ISO 1600 to get the whole bird in focus as at about 6 meters the depth of field at f/2.8 is about 5 mm.

Below are some full frame images with crops to show better detail as these birds are tiny.
