About These Birds
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.
African Yellow White-eye
The African Yellow White-eye is a tiny, active passerine of the Zosteropidae family, weighing about 10 g with a wingspan near 11 cm. It moves energetically through forest canopy and woodland across sub-Saharan Africa, identifiable by its yellow-green plumage and conspicuous white eye-ring.
