I'm not sure about the name: white eyed finch is what I've been calling
it. I'll have to look it up. They have been around our backyard for a few
years now. Live in a group of about 20-30 and travel/feed in a group. One
decides he doesn't like you, flies off and the rest follow. Cute but very
fast tiny and 'busy'.

Cheers
