Slaty-backed Thornbill

Acanthiza robustirostris

Least Concern

The Slaty-backed Thornbill is a small active insectivore of heath, woodland, shrubland, or dry country in western Australia. It is usually resident, using dense cover or forest structure year-round and moving locally as food availability changes. Fun fact: many of these Australo-Papuan passerines are easier to detect by voice than by sight.
