First time I've seen a Blue Tit with an injured /black eye.
Poor little bird.
Pleased to say that he hasn't lost his appetite and seems to be OK

This yearling black bear cub appears to have an eye injury in addition to being abandoned by its mother who is tending to its infant sibling. Along the spur trail to Boot Springs in the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park.
The eagles at the zoo were all injured in the wild. They could not survive in their natural habitat.

'LOSER.'
Every picture tells it‘s story and I made this one last year.
The stag bore a nasty eye injury and had isolated himself from the rutting activities elsewhere. He looked in a sorry state and very dejected, though the positive news is that he seemed much improved when I connected with him some days later.
I hope he is more successful in his battles for supremacy this year …
Each of the bald eagles and golden eagles at Elmwood Park Zoo was rescued after sustaining an injury in the wild. They are unfit to return to a natural habitat. Under human care, they receive a carefully monitored diet, veterinary attention, and protection from threats such as the avian flu. They're also helping to educate the public!

Another image of the stag with the eye injury -
*(the eye on the far side, not visible).
He had chosen to isolate himself from rutting activities that were taking place elsewhere in the deer park.
This image was made seven days after I had originally found him. On first sighting the eye had looked very red and sore. This time it looked a lot less angry, the swelling had gone down and there was no sign of infection. He had made himself a shallow mud wallow which he would urinate in and scrape with his hooves and antlers occasionally. Although he had chosen isolation, he was obviously aware of distant stags' calls and responded to them by bellowing himself.
I'm hoping it's a case of temporarily down but not out, and he will engage in the rut before too long.

‘RECOVERY PERIOD’.
On Sunday, October 7th I found the stag with the injured eye again in a local deer park. As before, he had chosen to isolate himself from rutting activities that were taking place elsewhere. Instead, he shared company with a flock of Canada Geese that grazed all around him and the occasional Carrion Crow that would venture close to pull hair from his coat.
The stag’s demeanour was altogether much brighter than when I had seen him previously and he was taking an interest in the bellowing sounds coming from other parts of the park. I was really pleased to note that his eye looked less angry and wasn’t infected, despite the attention it had received from flies. The swelling underneath it had gone down a lot. I’m hoping that all these positive signs mean he’ll be able to claim a harem and breed this year.
The kingfishers approach the fledging of the first brood, but not without a bit of drama.

This poor guy is called "Chip". You can easily see that his eye has been running. It looks like the front of the right eye was gored.. I'm guessing that he'll lose it. He was looking disoriented at this time.

'OUCH ..... A BATTLE LOST'.
It looked as if this stag had incurred an injury to his right eye in a recent battle. He had taken himself away to a quiet area of the park to rest up, but he still announced his presence with an occasional bellow!
The injury attracted the attention of numerous flies and wasps during the time I watched him. If the image is viewed large, you can just make out 3 flies perched in the corner of the lower eyelid.
I can't think this setback bodes well for the stag, as infection seems surely likely and this would knock him out of prime rutting condition. Only time will tell if the urge to procreate will overcome personal injury.

TUS, Razavi Khorasan, Iran — Sculpture of Rostam's arrow blinding Esfandyar's eye, in the underground hall below the tomb of the Iranian medieval poet Ferdowsi, author of the Shahnameh epic. Like many stories in the Shahname which are taken from older world literature, the killing of Esfandyar and his vulnerability is a copy of the older legend of Achilles in Greece. Esfandyar had submerged himself in a lake of zinc to become protected, but he closed his eyes under the metallic liquid.

European Rabbit / oryctolagus cuniculus. Suffolk. 28/06/18.
'BUT ALL WAS NOT WELL ON WATERSHIP DOWN....'
The location was in fact a fallow, sandy field much favoured by rabbits. Their populations have lived there happily for as long as I've been visiting Suffolk, and that's a long, long time!
On a brief visit at the end of June I spent a few hours with the rabbits, photographing them in gorgeous early evening light.
This doe was very confiding. I think she was either pregnant or having a phantom pregnancy judging by the amount of fur she had plucked from her breast to line a nest with.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
I made lots of images, all viewed from her opposite side and in these, she had appeared to be in first class condition. However, when she eventually turned, she revealed this sore, nastily infected right eye. I think she must have picked up one of the Piri Piri Burrs that are now invading the field. Over time she must have scratched this irritant and in doing so, removed not only much of the burr, but a lot of fur too. You can still see some of the burr spikes at the front of the eye.

When I was taking the photos of this wasp, I thought there was something obstructing the light from the flash.
It wasn't until I saw them at a larger size on my computer that I realised it was an eye injury of some kind.
Even though I've only been doing this type of photography (with the mpe65 lens) for a bit over a year and a half, this would be the first time I have ever seen anything like this.

October is Eye Injury Prevention Month. One way to protect your eyes is to wear sunglasses (even on cloudy days) to block harmful UV rays.

This penetrating eye injury has occurred at the nasal limbus of the right eye, a common location for a rupture. The iris has prolapsed and the pupil is distorted. The wound may also extend backwards along the globe.

This is a 'rust ring' which shows signs of having been present for some days. The iron particle or 'rust' will lift off the cornea easily but will leave a stained area beneath. Removal with a needle or drill (burr) will be necessary

Unfortunately, like many of the photos I've taken - this is a common sight. I took this photo while visiting a dye-manufacturing plant. This factory is part of the growing garment industry in Bangladesh.
Child labor is quite common in Bangladesh - either to support themselves and/or their parents. Safety standards such as requiring employers to provide for welding masks are non-existent in Bangladesh. If employees complain about injuries - they are usually fired.
This is a follow-up to "two kids rummage through trash". This photo was taken in the building next to the trash pile they were rummaging through.
When a patient complains of a sudden onset scratchy eye, and no corneal foreign body can be found, the lid should be everted to check for foreign bodies.

Child labour is technically illegal but extremely widespread. Driven by poverty, it is often parents who are forced to push their children into work at an early age. Child labor is quite common in Bangladesh - either to support themselves and/or their parents. Safety standards such as requiring employers to provide for welding masks are non-existent in Bangladesh.
The worst forms are welding, automobiles, street chidren, battery re-charing and transport. Salam 17 years old boy welder in a welding workshop and his nephew Azam (only 9 years) helps him whole day. Child Labour is a curse to the Bangladeshi Society as well as our economy.
