The Red-lored Whistler is a striking bird known for its distinctive reddish facial markings, endemic to the mallee eucalypt forests of southern Australia. It is a shy and often elusive species.
Where to spot
Endemic to the mallee eucalypt woodlands of southern Western Australia and western South Australia. Prefers dense mallee scrub.
How to spot
Identify by the male's distinctive red loral stripe (between the eye and bill) and yellow underparts, while females are duller. Listen for its strong, whistled calls, which are a key way to locate this skulking bird in dense mallee.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the breeding season (spring), when males sing to establish territories.
This whistler is a specialized inhabitant of mallee, a unique eucalypt woodland type. Its survival is closely tied to the health and preservation of these specific habitats.
