About These Birds
Aldabra White-eye
The Aldabra White-eye is a tiny passerine weighing about 7 g, endemic to Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles. A member of the Zosteropidae family, it forages actively through scrub and woodland vegetation, identifiable by the characteristic white ring around its eye.
Bioko Speirops
The Bioko Speirops is a vulnerable white-eye endemic to the montane forests of Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea. It has brown-olive plumage without the typical white eye-ring of most white-eyes. It forages in forest canopy for insects, nectar, and berries, and is threatened by habitat loss and its very restricted island range.
