Zosterops citrinella

The Ashy-bellied White-eye, scientifically known as Zosterops citrinella, is a charming bird belonging to the Zosteropidae family. It is recognized by its distinctive ashy-grey belly, which contrasts with its otherwise greenish upperparts. This species is also referred to as the Pale White-eye or Pale-bellied White-eye, though it should not be mistaken for its relative, Zosterops consobrinorum.

Identification Tips

When observing the Ashy-bellied White-eye, look for its greyish-white underparts and the characteristic white eye-ring that is a hallmark of the white-eye family. The bird's upperparts are a greenish colour, providing excellent camouflage amongst the foliage.

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.

Birda is an excellent platform to share your love of Birding and is a great tool of encouragement for a Birding Beginner like me. Birda has a very kind and supportive community of Birding enthusiasts. For me BIRDA is not only a BIRDING but also a WELLBEING App.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!
