Forty-spotted Pardalote

Pardalotus quadragintus

Endangered

The Forty-spotted Pardalote is a tiny, bright forest bird that gleans insects and lerps from eucalyptus foliage in Tasmania. It is usually resident, using dense cover or forest structure year-round and moving locally as food availability changes. Fun fact: many of these Australo-Papuan passerines are easier to detect by voice than by sight.
