Varied Triller

Common to very common in the north, they are uncommon to rare in the colder south. Typical habitat is rainforest, vine forest, riverine thickets, eucalypt forest and woodland, with a particular preference for the border areas between closed and open forests.

The Varied Triller is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Varied Trillers are found in coastal scrubs and rainforests in Northern and Eastern Australia. Both sexes build the nest and raise the single young.

The Varied Triller (Lalage leucomela) is a smaller member of the Cuckoo-shrike family, Campephagidae. This species prefers warm, reasonably moist environments and is found in New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, along much of the tropical and sub-tropical coastal hinterland of eastern Australia, from about the Sydney area to the tip of Cape York Peninsula, in the moister part of the Kimberley, and throughout the Top End. They are common in the north and uncommon (sometimes rare) in the colder south. More
