Fiji white-eye
The Fiji white-eye (''Zosterops explorator'') is a species of passerine bird in the white-eye family Zosteropidae. The species is also known as the Layard's white-eye.〔Pacific Birds (2001) (List of the Birds of Fiji ). Downloaded 22 July 2008〕
It is endemic to the islands of Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Kadavu, and Ovalau in Fiji, where it is a common bird of forests.〔Pratt, H., Bruner, P & Berrett, D. (1987) ''The Birds of Hawaii and the Tropical Pacific'' Princeton University Press:Princeton ISBN 0-691-08402-5〕 Where it co-occurs with the closely related silvereye it is more common in denser forest.
It is a typical small white-eye of the genus ''Zosterops'', similar in appearance to the silvereye, although the plumage is much yellower, it is chunkier and has a complete eye-ring.〔 The back is olive green and the throat and belly yellow. The call is described as "a high pitched ''seeu-seeu''".
The Fiji white-eye feeds by gleaning insects from shrubs and trees. It will join mixed-species feeding flocks with other Fijian birds, including silvereyes. It also feeds lower down in the trees than silvereyes.〔Langham (1989) "(Stratification of passerines in Fijian forests )". ''Notornis'' 36 (4): 267-285〕
