Here’s a very small bird with a very large eye ring.

Native to Australia and New Zealand, he’s a migratory bird called a silvereye (Zosterops lateralis).   He’s only the size of a kinglet.

This month in the southern hemisphere silvereyes are gathering in flocks because winter is coming.  They’ll fly north to warmer climates eating fruit along the way.

Here’s a video of them preening after a bath.

The eye ring is amazing…
