Did you know that there are STILL 2000 languages without any part of the Bible translated?
What bird is that?

What bird is that?
Now that we are on quieter roads, we can enjoy not only the absence of noise (ie. no more vehicles every 10 seconds) but also the bird song.
We are surrounded by some of the planets most amazing birds down in this part of the world, and we probably take them for granted. We see the humble (sic) parrot practically every day.
But the other day Carnsey and I heard a different bird for the first time.
We filmed it - but while you don't actually see it on the video, you can hear it's call.
Watch the video and see if you can hear this bird and identify it.
It would appear, if you look around at the bird life, that our Creator enjoys variety - understatement of the year!! Does anyone out there know how many species of birds there are in the world??
As far as languages go, he also enjoys variety - 6,910 different languages are spoken in the world today. And God has promised that in heaven there will be a great orchestra praise of ALL of them, as per John's vision in Rev 7:9-10 -
"After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb".

... Without having read all the other comments we knew at once that it was the whip bird, and there were magpies, too. We remembered them well from our years and visits in Queensland. Thanks for sharing God`s creation in this way. I will forward this to Martin in Sweden again. With love, Lotte as well as Manfred. |

... Well, there are at least four species of bird calling. I would be very surprised if you filmed a whip bird. in my experience they are hard to see. You would have had to been stopped at some rainforest patch for a while. Did you film the bellbird, the magpie, the crow or the brown honeyeater? |

... The male whip bird makes the whip cracking call, but the female answers with the 2 notes that follow. [I can't get your video's on my computer.] |

... Tne Eastern Whip bird sound is unique, however there was a common Crow sounding on the walkers in there as well, just to let us know it's Australian /world history in the making . Well Done! |

... Geoffrey Bullock is right, an Eastern Whip Bird, quite common along the Eastern Ranges. Enjoy the sound. |

... It is a whipbird - quite distinctive. The other ones at the beginning I have heard often - some sort of finch I think. Lately I have been woken by a family of Magpies, singing for their breakfast right at my door. They will take a piece of meat or cheese gently from my fingers. Then sing for more. Beautiful. |

... I think Geoff's right. They live all down the Eastern ranges into Victoria. The "whip" sound wasn't quite as sharp as I have heard it before. |

... I believe it is the Eastern Whipbird - psophodes olivaceus. The whip crack is the clue! |
