Media notes
A bird perched on a branch, feeding on fruit. Published in HBW Volume 13 on page 418. Original HBW caption: The fact that insects provide the bulk of the diet of white-eyes should not conceal the important nutritional contribution of fruit. The Black-capped White-eye of the foothills and montane forests of Borneo and Sumatra feeds on a variety of small fruits, including those of wild raspberry (Rubus), mistletoes (Loranthaceae) and purple figs (Ficus) of just a few millimetres in length. During a drought, this white-eye was also recorded taking grass seeds. Small flocks of Black-capped White-eyes forage in fruiting trees in the lower and middle storeys of forest and in shrubby vegetation on the forest edge. IBC scientific name: Zosterops atricapilla atricapilla. Elevation: 1812 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
