Western Thornbill

Acanthiza inornata

The Western Thornbill, known scientifically as Acanthiza inornata, is a diminutive and active bird belonging to the Acanthizidae family. It is a species that has made the southwestern parts of Australia its exclusive home.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify the Western Thornbill, one should look for a small bird with a preference for flitting actively through shrubbery. Its appearance, while not elaborately adorned, is characteristic of the thornbill family.

Habitat

The natural habitat of this species is the Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation that is prevalent in its southwestern Australian range. Here, it finds the conditions it requires to thrive.

Distribution

Endemic to southwestern Australia, the Western Thornbill is a bird that is not found elsewhere, making it a special sighting for those who are birdwatching in this particular region of the world.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Western Thornbill as Least Concern, indicating that, at present, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a higher degree of conservation action.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

Fun way to add to your birdwatching experience
I enjoy watching birds in my backyard, but this app helped me really pay attention while on vacation this summer. It was fun to add new birds to my bird watching app.

Work together with community
Been loving using this app to log my bird sightings and work together with community members to identify different birds. I've already learned a lot since I started about a month ago!

Great app
I use this app all the time as it’s quick and easy to log individual sightings or whole birding sessions. It’s an excellent way to meet new people and the forum is full of really friendly people. The challenges are a great way to get involved and learn more about birds. Cannot recommend it enough!

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.

Great app for beginner twitchers
I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether
