Abstract

We have been documenting nest predation on a woodland site in south-east Australia using camera traps. Here we describe the recording of a long-nosed bandicoot (Perameles nasuta) digging out the tunnel nest of a spotted pardalote (Pardalotus punctatus), and eating the three young birds. The diet of this species is mainly insects and other invertebrates, so this observation is significant as it is the first documentation of this animal as a nest predator.
