in amongst the mangroves
a lot of hard lighting to deal with but that eye sure stands out doesn't it?
I haven't the faintest! Any suggestions?

What a bird. The silvered eyes are camouflaged, well taken Carole.
Those little, fast moving green birds in dense trees certainly present a challenge Carole. I think you took a great shot there all things considered. Can't help with the ID of the other though - sorry.
wow! great eyeliner! :)
Beautiful shots Carole. Are there alot of crocodiles in the mangroves. There sure are in Florida. Love this!
Jeanne; no there's not a lot of crocodiles around there; thankfully, there's none that I know of. It sure looks like crocodile country doesn't it? I can assure you if there were, that I wouldn't be standing there! I'll stand around for ages waiting, watching for birds, but never in crocodile territories.
The eye looks painted on...pretty little bird!
I like the nice shade of olive green he has in addition to the silver eye.
Great Silvereye photo! I'm not sure about the other bird - resembles a Fairy Gerygone except you are much too south to reasonably expect that. Maybe some other Gerygone or Thornbill species?
Superb photos! The Silvereye reminds me of our White-eyed Vireo. No clue as to your mystery bird.
So well camouflaged, it nearly looks like a fruit hanging from the tree! I'm surprised you saw it there! What an amazing little find!
