Dean et al,

I have been sitting in a lantana patch and seen and heard an Eastern
Whipbird give the whole call. There were other birds present but I am
confident that the three parts to the call came from the one bird on more
than one occasion. It was out of the breeding season so that may account for
the behaviour.

This bird and others were also observed to make parts of the call without
any dueting taking place.

I did not shoot and/or sex any of the birds.


Regards,
Alan Gillanders
