You know him without seeing him his voice you will not get wrong
The white and black male white triller has a distinctive song
From mid Spring to mid Summer he does trill regularly
This medium sized member of the cuckoo shrike family
In flat nest of sticks in leafy foilage on outer fork of tree
The female lay green orange spotted eggs of two or sometimes three
Plainer than the male in his breeding plumage she is not known to sing
To be showy and vocal in life is not her thing
White winged trillers are migratory they like to move about
From August to early March they are common in the south
Distinctive from all other birds is only true to say
The trilling song of the pied male to his identity a give away
Familiar to many people of the countryside
In the vastness of Australia they travel far and wide.
