Hi Kerry, Nice spotting! I'm starting a birds of New Zealand mission to document biodiversity within New Zealand. (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12520214) It would be wonderful if you would add your bird spottings to this mission and keep up the great posts. Cheers!

Alice, I'm not sure! This one was by itself - so we couldn't compare it to others. The pictures that come up on google seem to show a darker eye - but it could just be the light?

I have never seen their eyes before, are they all blue-eyed?
