This month we're going small and hard to spot - the Striated Thornbill Acanthiza lineata is just 10cm long and weighs around 7 grams. It spends most of its time in the canopy of mature eucalypts feeding on insects, including lerp insects (which are already present in numbers on the pink gums) and will also eat seeds and fruit.
