Zosterops japonicus

---

I spotted a few Japanese white-eyes flying around these plants at the Taipei Botanical Garden, feeding on the nectar from the flowers. This is the second time I have shot birds with my Canon 100-400mm lens adapted onto the Sony A7. I used manual focus and managed to capture a few shots of the bird.

Japanese white-eyes are fast, and they don't like to stay in one place for long, so it was quite challenging to take their photo, especially with manual focus! I stayed in one position, waiting for them to get close and make a few returns. These were the images I selected out of a few that I took.

Does anyone know what this plant is?

This one stayed long enough for me to get focus on it :)
