Silvereyes are tiny birds (about 11cm from beak to tail) that flit around the scrub, chirping and twittering merrily. Their colouring is muted but lovely, with a soft olive head and wings, a white front, and a chestnut blush on each side. And of course, the silver ring around the eyes that gives them their name.

Unfortunately, a twig got in the way of my photo. Still, you can get a good idea of this pretty little bird:
