From Wikipedia

The Oriental White-eye, Zosterops palpebrosus, is a small passerine bird in the white-eye family (Zosteropidae), which might warrant inclusion in the Timaliidae. It is a resident breeder in open woodland in tropical Asia east from India to China and Indonesia.

Description
It is sociable, forming large flocks which only separate on the approach of the breeding season. It builds a tree nest and lays 2-5 unspotted pale blue eggs.

Though mainly insectivorous, the Oriental White-eye will also eat nectar and fruits of various kinds.

This species is about 10cm long. The plumage above is green, and the underparts are white except for a bright yellow throat and breast. It has rounded wings and strong legs.

The English and scientific names refer to the conspicuous ring of white feathers round the eyes, zosterops being Greek for 'girdle-eye'.

Hello Kedar,
A nice capture of an Oriental White-eye taken from a POV that is not ideal but shows most of the features with fine sharpness. I like the composition among the foliage with the leaves on the right forming a nice part of it.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Nice shot. the colours look beautiful. I would have preferred to clone out the somewhat distracting bright white spots. However, the main subject looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
