The Little Thornbill is one of the smallest thornbills, known for its plain, olive-brown plumage and active foraging in the canopy. It is widespread in eastern Australia.
Where to spot
Found in a variety of eucalypt forests and woodlands, particularly in the canopy, across eastern and southeastern Australia.
How to spot
Look for its tiny size and quick movements in the upper canopy. Listen for its high-pitched, soft, and slightly buzzing calls, which are characteristic of its presence.
When to spot
Active year-round. Often seen in small, fast-moving flocks, which can make them challenging to observe individually.

Despite its diminutive size, it often forages high in the canopy of eucalypt trees, meticulously gleaning tiny insects from leaves and flowers, often hanging upside down.
