Blinking Hawk

Caught this fellow blinking yesterday.

What we see in the second photo is actually the third eyelid, which, I believe, comes from the right side of the eye (maybe from the back of the head). The first two eyelids are rarely used during the day. Read more here.

Two excellent photos of the hawk. I have never seen the "third eyelid" and can't find it in my photos.

Well done.

p.s. Did the hawk enjoy the rabbit?
