Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis)

Then a large flock of Silvereyes landed in a pine, alternating between that and some sort of acacia (?) that was in flower. They were very busy foraging and hard to keep in the viewfinder, but by sheer numbers and persistence I got some shots. This one was the most fun of those, I think.
