Description: The Spotted Pardalote is one of Australia’s smallest birds at eight to ten centimetres in length. The wings, tail and head of the male are black and covered with small, distinct white spots. As well as spots, the males sport white and yellow flashes of colour near their eyebrows, rump and a bright yellow throat/chest, so despite their small size are very pretty. Females have similar markings but slightly more dull in colour.
