Cape White-eye (Zosterops virens); Garden Route, South Africa
White-eyes are everywhere, but also so difficult to manage a good photo, since they are just so fast, hardly ever sitting still. Glad this one (sort of) obliged me for a moment.
Fun fact: The general name for white-eye species in Afrikaans is "glasogie/glaasogie," which directly translates to "glass eye"...you can clearly see why!
