Why it matters
The Cape White-eye is named for the distinctive ring of white feathers circling its eyes, a hallmark of the Zosteropidae family that makes them easily identifiable in the field. These small, highly social birds are prized by birders for their restless energy and habit of moving through vegetation in active, vocal groups.
