Good shot, and this may just be his Nicitating membrane. Often I have taken shots in a burst, some will have this, while others have a clear eye

A super catch Bea, lovely detail and light.

Bea, great colors and a super shot. Many birds have a nictitating membrane that covers their eyes at times, almost like with a blink. It moistens and cleans their eye. I think that might be what you see here. If it stays more than a moment, then it could be eye damage or cataract as mentioned. See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nictitating_membrane

Beautifully detailed image, Bea. Her eye does look blind, but I hope she is otherwise well.

could be a cataract, but would look to me to be blind...

Beautiful image Bea. As Vern says lots of fine detail. The eye does look damaged unfortunately.

Well done, Bea! I like how the sunlight highlights the head and shoulders of the bird! Lots of fine detail too!
