Red-lored Whistler

The Red-lored Whistler is generally restricted to the “Big Desert” or “Ninety-mile Desert” country of south-eastern South Australia and western Victoria, but which is now regularly observed north of the River Murray and at Round Hill Nature Reserve in outback New South Wales, and has been recorded from Pinkawillinnie Conservation Park , and in the vicinity of Adelaide, from where the type specimen was allegedly collected. In every case, the habitat is Mallee Woodland.

The Red-lored Whistler is classified as Near Threatened (NT), is close to qualifying for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future.

The Red-Lored Whistler (Pachycephala rufogularis) is similar, in many respects, to the Gilbert Whistler, to which it is clearly related, and from which it must be distinguished: the range of the Red-lored Whistler falls entirely within that of the Gilbert Whistler. The two species share the same habitat, behaviour and even many calls. More

When looking for Red-lored Whistlers, a good knowledge of their calls (listen on sound page) and a quiet approach are essential. They are quite shy and if you go crunching your way through the litter they hear you coming and simply fly off low to the ground and out of view. Of all the whistlers, the Red-lored are the most "shrike-thrush like". More

The Red-lored Whistler is reasonably widespread in the Big Desert and in South Australia in the Ninety Mile Desert. The habitat, morphology and foraging of the Red-lored Whistler is compared with that of three other whistler species also occuning in this mallee area; the Gilbert's P. inornata, Rufous P rufiventris and Golden P. pectoralis. Red-lored Whistlers foraged more on the ground and preferred vegetation characterised by a dense (> 30% horizontal cover) low ( 3 m). More
