Well captured Bert, a beautiful happy little bird, we have them here as well (I think the one I usually see is the striated pardalote), their call always sounds to me like they're calling "pretty boy". One site describes the call
Quote:
The Spotted Pardalote is sometimes known as the "Headache Bird" because of the continuous "sleep-may-be" call it gives during the breeding season
I might see if I can capture (an image that is) one, beats the hell out of pelicans....
