Distribution and habitat preferences

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 (at Gluepot Reserve, South Australia) and at Round Hill Nature Reserve in outback New South Wales, and has been recorded from Pinkawillinnie Conservation Park (near Kimba, Eyre Peninsula), and in the vicinity of Adelaide, from where the type specimen was allegedly collected. In every case, the habitat is Mallee Woodland (Wikipedia).

Behaviour

Their colouration and behaviour makes them particularly difficult to spot.
