Oriental White Eye Warbler |
This sub-tropical bird is found mainly in China as well as Cambodia and throughout Asia. It is a migratory bird and they do their mating in northern China. They migrate in the winter season to South Asia.
These pretty little birds are only 8-9 cms and are very distinctive with their yellow marking over their heads, necks and plumage. This makes them easy to be seen.
They go around in small groups and live on nectar from the flowers and small insects. There are several different species and they all come in a variety of colours. Which places them in the sub-species.

Wow, I can't even pronounce those Z names for the beautiful birds you chose. I love learning new things. Great post. Congrats on finishing the A to Z Campaign. Nice to meet you. Stop on by and say Hi sometime.
ReplyDeleteI have learned quite a lot about fish, birds and reptiles whilst on this A-Z but I do believe, you can always find the Latin version of most things, if you search long enough lol
DeleteThanks for dropping by and Congratulations!
These are birds that I would like to see in my garden. The European goldfinch is the most colourful we get, along with the occasional bullfinch.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the Challenge, Jenni.
I have replied to this already. For some reason it is not being accepted.
DeleteIt would be lovely to see these birds in my garden to although, it would probably be to cold for them here..
Cheers Jenni
