Mauritius grey white-eye

Mauritius grey white-eye (Zosterops mauritianus)

two more images of this little beauty.

i came to know that they feed on nectar, so it was easy for me to find them on the blooms of this mango tree in the garden of the hotel.

little ones were also in the tree, but deep inside the branches.

hope you like it.

A fabulous bird and a brilliant close-up. Love that upward glance with that beautiful red eye. Outstanding Doux! TFS!

Two lovely images, Doux, particularly this one - such a great composition!

OK, so I get that this bird is "related" somehow to various other white-eyes, but there are also some equally closely related ones called silver-eyes, so why not call this one amber-eye? Another beautiful shot, though! :clap: :clap:
