Taita White-eye

Zosterops silvanus Peters, JL & Loveridge, 1935

Zosteropidae — White-eyes

Taita White-eye, Zosterops silvanus, is a bird of the family Zosteropidae that breeds in Kenya. It is confined to the Taita Hills in the south-east of the country and is associated with cloud forest. The species is linked with the pale white-eye in mixed flocks. It has been treated as part of the montane white-eye complex, and several subspecies have been recognised within it. Its survival is affected by the loss and breaking up of its forest habitat in the Taita Hills.
