Silvereye

A small olive-grey bird with a neat white eye-ring, this species moves through gardens, scrub, and woodland edges in active, twittering flocks, gleaning insects and fruit from foliage. It adapts readily to suburban settings across Australia and New Zealand and is present year-round, with autumn and winter flocks often the easiest to observe as birds move lower into shrubs and fruiting trees. Listen for its thin, wheezy calls as a flock moves through a garden or hedgerow.
