It is common in scrub, gardens and forest. VANIKOLO WHITE-EYE Zosterops sp. No member of this genus has ever been reported from Vanikolo. During my brief visit to the island I observed Zosterops twice, a group of three not associated with other species and a single bird in a mixed-species flock, in forest and natural secondary growth at 140—175 m. I did not explore much higher than this. All four of these birds were low down and gave very good, close views (Fig. 4). It is probably not uncommon so it is surprising that the species has never been collected. This taxon is closely allied to Z. sanctaecrucis being the same size and shape. Bill a little more slender. Plumage all dull olive,.
