This may well be the first picture (in the field) ever of this species? Taken by Filip Verbelen

Although it's been known about for several years, I guess considering the state of the one on OBC images, that Filip's is the first in the field Andy... Keen-eyed birders will note that it doesn't actually have white eyes.

I wonder how many other island 'white-eyes' might be out there still.
