Silvereye In The Hebe
Here's some photos of some beautiful little silvereye (tauhou) in our garden drinking nectar from the hebe flowers. The silvereye are frequent visitors to these hebe frequently arriving in a small flock and filing it with movement as they not only feed on the nectar but also pick it clean of insect pests and caterpillars. Silvereye are very versatile little birds with a wide range of diet feeding on nectar, berries, seeds, fruit insects and caterpillars. They've been very successful at adapting to an urban environment.
