Field Notes

Description:

A tiny bird, around 10 cm. I'm unsure if this a White-throated Gerygone (Gerygone olivacea), or a Fairy Gerygone (Gerygone palpebrosa). They're both so similar. Would appreciate any help :)

Habitat:

Found in open coastal woodland, lots of Paperbark trees. Mangrove nearby.

Notes:

Dunrock

Great! Thanks so much Kerry. They look so similar. Thank you TicThapanya :)
I've suggested the Fairy Gerygone because it has a white eye ring around an adult red eye.
