The Bare-eyed White-eye is a species found in the Solomon Islands. Unlike most white-eyes, it has a prominent bare, yellow eye-ring (not feathery white), setting it apart from its relatives.
Where to spot
Found on several islands in the Solomon Islands, including Malaita and Makira, inhabiting montane forests.
How to spot
Look for small, active birds, paying close attention to the bare, yellow skin around the eye. Listen for their typical high-pitched, chattering calls as they move through the canopy.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most visible during early morning and late afternoon when foraging.

Its unique bare yellow eye-ring makes it one of the most distinctive members of the Zosterops genus, diverging from the typical 'white-eye' appearance.
