This is one of nine species of thornbill I saw on my Australia trip.... Chestnut-rumped Thornbill (Acanthiza uropygialis) #BirdingAustralia #thornbills

LBJ no. 2. Inland Thornbill (Acanthiza apicalis) 😀 Despite the name it is found along the coast in SW Australia. #BirdingAustralia #thornbills #LBJs

Brown Thornbill (Acanthiza pusilla) .. one of the commoner LBJs in the coastal forests of SE Australia #BirdingAustralia #BirdingMelbourne #BirdingVictoria #thornbills

Very white undertail coverts & weak breast / throat streaking made me think this was a Tasmanian Thornbill, but Merlin insists it's a Brown Thornbill (Acanthiza pusilla). The latter species is one of the commonest LBJs in Tasmania. #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #Thornbills

Today I found what a brown thornbill nest looks like. Looked into the orchid & thought "oh, someone's nest has fallen in there". Picked it up & it started cheeping, & the parents rallied angrily. Put it back hurriedly & carefully! #Thornbills (Acanthiza pusilla) plentiful #birds here all year. 🪶
