kirk's white-eye Zosterops kirki

A small, sharp-billed warbler-like bird. Note the completely yellow underparts and the broad white spectacles around the eye. Common in habitats with woody vegetation, including humid forest, plantations, woodland, scrub, and gardens. Usually found in hyperactive flocks. Very similar to Comoro White-eye, and they overlap at the lower reaches of the montane heath zone. Kirk’s White-eye is separated by being slightly smaller and brighter overall, especially on the yellow underparts and above the bill, and most importantly by the broader white eye-ring. The most common calls are a high-pitched, rising rattle and a descending “chew” note, which is also the main component of the quiet, chatty song.
