I’m enjoying Series 19 of Only Connect in the few minutes of my spare time at the moment.
Thanks to my daughter’s drawing of a certain bird to get one of her Cubs’ badges, I was able to guess this one after the very first clue:
That’s 5 points to me, while the combined efforts of Jezz, John and Jane didn’t even manage to get the link at all. Can you see it?
I’ll share the answer below.

That’s a silver-eye, a pink-eye, a black-eye and a red-eye.
I don’t blame you for not getting the bird: I wouldn’t have done if it wasn’t for the drawing, (and shouldn’t that be in italics as a Linnaean name?) but it seems to get fairly simple after that.
Of course, Z.lateralis is the Australasian equivalent of our own Zosterops virens, the Cape White-Eye.
Which would still fit the question.
