Description Finally I got a good shot of one of those Kikuyu White Eyes (Zosterops kikuyuensis). They're so fast!! But I was lucky this one made a little lunch break and took some of the Sloths food.

It is found in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, and Tanzania.

Chemnitz Zoo, Saxony

Nice shot

It is a little different from the New Zealand White Eye, I took a shot of one recently and I agree, they are very fast

I've seen your shot.^^ It's beautiful! And you've them flying free there?

sculpted1 In reply to Wild-Soul [2008-08-15 23:54:38 +0000 UTC]

No prob, thanks. Yeah they are pretty common here but they are very fast and always on the move so I don't get to see them very often. Are they rare in β€˜Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, and Tanzania.’?

Wild-Soul In reply to sculpted1 [2008-09-06 09:56:05 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure if they're rare there.

It's cool that they're common where you live. I'd like to have some of them here too. But I guess it's too cold for them.

sculpted1 In reply to Wild-Soul [2008-09-06 10:09:03 +0000 UTC]

They are probably common there as well. I think its good having different species in different countries anyway, it makes everywhere you go different from the last although one country with every bird, animal and insect does sound cool.

Yes, you're right! If everything would be the same it would be quite boring.
