Oriental White-Eye

Two White-eyes besides Tunga Channel

Oriental White-eyes are delightful bright-yellow birds which can be identified quite easily by a circular white 'ring' around their eyes. About the size of sparrows, or probably smaller than a sparrow, these are found mainly alongside the Tunga channel, flying around very quickly in pairs or small groups.That way, this is not a strictly garden-bird, you may have to go a little distance to catch sight of these birds.

Common food for these birds are insects and nectar.
Scientific name for this bird is Zosterops palpebrosus.
