Cataracts?

[MN Shutterbug]

The first one looks a bit gofy with the membrane covering his eyes. I didn't notice until I got it on the PC. The eye pretty much spoils the shot, even though it's a bit unique. I'm about orioled out now, so no more from me. But, when the sun shines, you gotta make hay.

I never noticed that membrane either. Still nice photos!

Thats a nictitating membrane which is a transparent or translucent third eyelid present in some animals that can be drawn across the eye for protection and to moisten the eye while also keeping visibility.
