The Eastern Whipbird is a medium-sized, secretive ground-dwelling bird endemic to eastern Australia. It is famed for its unmistakable, loud whip-crack call, which often echoes through the forest.
Where to spot
Endemic to eastern Australia, inhabiting wet sclerophyll forests, rainforests, and dense shrubland along the coast and ranges. It prefers dense undergrowth.
How to spot
The best way to find this bird is to listen for its loud, distinctive call. Once heard, wait patiently and scan the dense undergrowth. While often elusive, they sometimes perch briefly in more open areas.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and easily detected during the breeding season (spring and summer). Best observed in the early morning and late afternoon.

The Eastern Whipbird's iconic call is a duet, with the male producing the initial 'whip-crack' and the female immediately following with a 'choo-choo' or 'chook-chook' sound.
