I find the term 'silvereye' so much more aesthetically pleasing to the ears than white-eye - pity they weren't all called thus. Shame all the australian species got lumped really..... (anyone for a petition to rename all Zosterops spp. Silvereyes??) Though I suppose overseas people might think a 'silvereye' was related to a 'goldeneye'.............. -------------------------------------------- Birding-Aus is now on the Web at www.birding-aus.org -------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message 'unsubscribe birding-aus' (no quotes, no Subject line) to |
