The inland thornbill (Acanthiza apicalis) is an insect-eating bird of Australia. It averages 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in length and 7 grams (0.25 oz) in weight. This small bird lives in dry scrublands and woodlands, as well as the sand heaths and karri and jarrah forests of Southwestern Australia. It feeds on small insects and spiders, and occasionally seeds and small vegetable matter, beneath shrubs and in foliage.Photograph: Peter Jacobs
