Silvereye

Zosterops lateralis


The common and widespread white-eye of Australia.  Usually encountered in small active flocks
working over the foliage, flowers or fruits of shrubbery in a wide range of
habitats, then moving on as a group. The tongue is brush-tipped for mopping up
sugary liquids from flowers and fruit.
