Silvereye Magnets

Silvereye

Saw this gorgeous little bird eating the wild blackberries on our property and got several shots of it. This one is my favourite.

New Zealand is well know for it's unique birds. This one is the silver-eye, waxeye, white eye, or tauhou. It was self-introduced to NZ and is not considered a native bird. A cute small bird found throughout the country.

A tiiny Silvereye on a cactus flower in the Meerkat enclosure at Werribee Open Range Zoo in Victoria, Australia. The white ring around its eye, which gives it its name, is clearly visible.

In the Winter the wax-eyes arrive for a feed and a bath.
