Eastern Whip Birds @ Dee Why Beach, Sydney

Eastern Whip Birds @ Dee Why Beach, Sydney Dec-2021. Filmed in the early morning sorry for the shakey video. I'll plan to film future vids with a gimble.

The following is taken from wikipedia:

"The eastern whipbird is generally shy, and is heard much more often than seen. Its long drawn out call - a long note, followed by a "whip crack" (which is the source of the common name) and some follow on notes - is one of the most distinctive sounds of the eastern Australian bush. The call is usually a duet between the male and female, the male producing the long note and whip crack and female the following notes. Calls are most frequent in the early morning, though do occur through the day with small peaks at noon and sunset. Though male calls are consistent across the species range, a high degree of variation in female calls has been reported."
