A weebill speaks: vote for us as your #birdoftheyear – video

Everyone knows Australia's largest bird, the emu, but how many are familiar with our smallest? At only 8cm to 9cm long, the weebill generally goes unnoticed due to its small stature and earthy colours, even though it is found across much of the country. It's most often found gleaning insects from eucalyptus leaves, which at times are bigger than the bird itself
