Hi Peter, Colin and others
Here, about 110km west of Brisbane, Eastern Whipbirds are very active and
noisy at present. Males are calling and females responding, with pairs
chasing around through the undergrowth.
I'll try to note if and when this dies down a bit, but at present they are
very evident, both seen and heard.

Hi Colin
A study a did a few years back (Emu 97:121-125, 1997)
showed that in Brisbane Forest Park, west of Brisbane,
they called throughout the year. Slightly less in winter but not
the noticeable drop off in calling that I found in catbird and noisy
pitta.
Whether this is applicable to your area, I don't know.
Cheers
Peter
