Forgot I had it, Mark, until Charlie jogged my memory with her beautiful photo of a Spotted Pardalote. This is often the case with me. I see someone else' spotting and think, "wait, I have one of those somewhere". Mind like a steel sieve. Thanks Maria.

They usually stay deep in the bush, Ernst. Like this fellow guarding his nest hole. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striated_pardalote Probably the father of this one, if I had to guess.
