Hi Graeme, Your postscript line implied you were attaching a photo of a
Kangaroo Island Spotted Scrubwren but I couldn't see one. Here is a shot of
mine from Kangaroo Island taken in the late evening. To me the eye seems to
have more of a greenish tinge. Local Victorian birds look white-eyed to me.
Cheers,

Hello Kev,
It would be interesting to me to know the eye colour of the White-browed
Scrubwrens from the Adelaide hills. If anybody knows, please inform us.
Adult White-brows from the east coast have yellow eyes.
All the Spotted Scrubwrens I have seen and photographed have blue eyes - a
very different look.
It has been suggested to me that this might be a latitude thing.
Cheers
Graeme
This is a Kangaroo Island Spotted - might well be closer to White-browed
but DNA isn't the last word.
