Hi Tony, Would 500 km out to sea qualify as "some distance"? That's about the distance to the nearest land (Australia) from Lord Howe Island, and Silvereyes found their own way there. I think there are something in excess of 50 species of Zosterops. They seem to be great travellers and colonisers, despite their small size. Anyone know what bird genus, on a world basis, has the largest number of species? Syd
How can anyone go anywhere and not see silvereyes ?? I've even seen them out to sea some distance. |
