The Papuan Thornbill is a tiny, active thornbill known for its mouse-like movements through dense foliage. It is endemic to the montane forests of New Guinea.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane rainforests of the central cordillera of New Guinea, typically at high elevations (above 1,500 meters).
How to spot
Patience is required due to its small size and secretive nature. Look for rapid movements in dense undergrowth and low vegetation. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls, which are often the first sign.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often seen in small, foraging flocks, moving rapidly through vegetation.

Its common name, 'murina,' is Latin for 'mouse-like,' referring to its secretive and scuttling movements through undergrowth and low vegetation, making it hard to spot.
