පෙරදිගු සිතැසියා/Oriental white-eye(Zosterops palpebrosus)


2024 July @Seethawaka

The first observation is at Seethawaka. This bird is a resident breeder in open woodland on the Indian subcontinent. They forage in small groups, feeding on nectar and small insects. They are easily identified by the distinctive white eye-ring and overall yellowish upperparts. The range previously extended eastwards to Southeast Asia, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Conservation status - least concern
