Warbling White-eye Zosterops japonicus

aka Japanese White-eye

Status

Category E

Native Range

Asia. Japan, Korea, Philippines, Sulawesi, Java, Bali and Lesser Sundas

Conservation Status

Least Concern

Notes

Deciding where the white-eyes are sufficiently definable as separate species has been troublesome. In particular, the former Japanese White-eye Z. japonicus (which I am assuming to be the species seen in the wild in Britain) and two others. So Z. japonicus is now the Warbling White-eye and this is the species being addressed here.
