Silvereye

Scientific name: Zosterops lateralis
Family: Zosteropidae
Order: Passeriformes

The Sivereye is a small green bird with a distinctive ring of white around the eye. About the size of a small sparrow they do not stand out by themselves but in numbers they become fascinating as they dance around each other.

The little Silvereye is a delightful wee bird. Normally where there is one there are at least half a dozen. Nervous by nature they are always on the move flitting from branch to branch.

Hi Pam

What an amazing composition!
Not only using this beautiful bird, but also that charming and interestingly shaped old branch...the nice distance you managed to get from the BG is great in order to blurr it so nicely, but the splendid thing is that you manage to preserve all its brilliant colors.
The details on the silvereye are brilliant and very sharp and the colors on it are gorgeous, too.

Bravo and TFS

This is a great composition - the silver-eye seems to balance the leaning tree as it clings rather preacariously to the stump of the branch its on. Very effective shot.

Hello Pam,
I like your composition very much. It really shows a bird in it's environment in stead of a frozen shot. The atmosphere the image has is nice. Can't exactly pinpoint what it is....
Regards, JAcob

Beautiful, Pam.
I like the atmosphere through this composition and rather dark but saturated colours.
Nice presentation.
