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.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.
