Lõuna-prilliklind, Zosterops lateralis lateralis

Tauhoud (maoorikeelne nimi) kogunevad Uus-Meremaal talviti üsna tihti parvedesse ja reeglina on igal parvel ka dominantne lind - positsioon, mille pärast ka kakeldakse. Kuigi väliselt on väga raske selle tillukese ja üsna armsa olemisega linnus mingitki agressioonialget näha. Foto sai tehtud Marlborough väina servas, riigi Lõunasaarel.

Silvereyes or tauhous (in Maori) are well known for flocking in New Zealand, especially in winter, and every flock has its dominant bird. This is a position that often generates fights, although it is really difficult to imagine that this tiny and cute bird has any aggression in it. The photo was taken by the Marlborough Sounds in South Island.
