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.
Black-capped Speirops
The Black-capped Speirops is a white-eye endemic to Annobon Island off the coast of Equatorial Guinea in the Gulf of Guinea, with a distinctive black cap and greenish body plumage. It inhabits forest canopy and edges on this small oceanic island. It feeds on nectar, berries, and small insects. Its restricted island range makes it potentially vulnerable to introduced predators and habitat change.
