The Slender-billed Thornbill is a small, slender thornbill characterized by its delicate bill and preference for saltmarsh and coastal shrublands in southern Australia.
Where to spot
Found in coastal and inland saltmarsh, chenopod shrublands, and heathlands in disjunct populations across southern Australia, from Western Australia to Victoria.
How to spot
Requires patient scanning of low, dense saltmarsh and shrubland. Its small size and quiet nature make it challenging to spot. Listen for its soft, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during daylight hours when foraging activity is consistent.

Its slender bill is perfectly adapted for gleaning tiny insects from the fine foliage of saltbush and samphire plants, specialized to its unique saline habitats.
