The Eastern Whip-Birds make an iconic call across the Charles and Motee Rogers Bushland Reserve at Highfields, and have called it home for as long as I can remember. The reserve has thick natural mulch and they at times can be seen scratching around in this looking for insects, mostly though they are rarely seen - only heard. On this visit, I happened to see two whip birds doing exactly that but they would then hop up into the branches and were secluded by foliage. These are the best photos that I managed of them during this visit.
The birdlife is always a wonderful distraction when weeding or doing rubbish collection during our Friends of Rogers Reserve Bushcare working bee days.
