The Proud Mum and Dad Pardalotes

Uploaded: October 02, 2008

Description

Striated Pardalote (Race substriatus), a tiny little bird nesting in a shallow cave in the bush near Nungarin, Western Australia. The birds were so quick bringing their food to the nest that quite often they had to wait for one another hanging upside down as shown in this photo. This photo is a composite of two photos, they were too quick for me :-). I have one with both of them but the male is a bit blurred.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 320.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D
