The White-breasted Whistler is a stunning bird endemic to coastal mangrove forests of northern Australia. Males are characterized by their brilliant white breast, black head, and rufous flanks.
Where to spot
Endemic to coastal mangrove forests and adjacent woodlands along the northern Australian coastline, from Western Australia to Queensland.
How to spot
Males are unmistakable with a black head, white throat, clean white breast, and rufous belly/flanks. Females are duller. Listen for its loud, clear, and ringing whistling song, often echoing across the mangroves.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during low tide when it forages on the exposed mudflats. Vocal particularly in the early morning and late afternoon.
This species is a true mangrove specialist, rarely found outside these unique saline environments, highlighting its adaptation to a niche habitat.
