Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis) by Ian
As their common name implies, many species have a conspicuous ring of tiny white feathers around their eyes. The scientific name of the group also reflects this latter feature, being derived from the Ancient Greek for “girdle-eye”. They have rounded wings and strong legs. Like many other nectivorous birds, they have slender, pointed bills, and brush-tipped tongues. The size ranges up to 15 cm (6 inches) in length. (Wikipedia)

But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; (Psalms 141:8a KJV)
