Little Treasures

I found these eggs in a knot hole in the exterior wall next to my front door.  They belong to the Striped Pardalote - gorgeous little birds that grace us with their company from about September through to April.




The photo above shows the material they have used for their nest - a combination of fibres from the insulation in our walls and Samoyed hair.  A commodity which we have in abundance (see previous post)

.....and here's a picture of the little guy (sourced from here).
