Blinking or nictating with the eye lens in birds is quite varied in opacity or colour, as well as the direction of the 'eye wipe' or lubrication. You can click to zoom-in a bit closer to see this species has an almost clear one.

Just thought I'd upload another Halloween picture of Asha. If anybody watches Dr Who then they will know what I'm on about in this picture. These weeping Angels in Doctor Who are the scariest baddies since The Daleks. I'm afraid if I met one of these weeping angels I wouldn't be able to stop myself from blinking...lol

Dipper, or White-throated Dipper, (Cinclus cinclus), River Wye, Derbyshire Peak District. Dippers feed mainly underwater where they walk and forage for aquatic invertebrates and small fish. Dippers have white eyelids which become visible when they blink.
Eagles have eyelids that close during sleep. For blinking, they also have an inner eyelid called a nictitating membrane. Every three or four seconds, the nictitating membrane slides across the eye from front to back, wiping dirt and dust from the cornea.
Because the membrane is translucent, the eagle can see even while it is over the eye. Eagles have an upper and lower eyelid, similar to ours, the nictitating membrane closes horizontally across the eye.
Here is an edit of this membrane in action. I thought we could use a little see-through editing to see what it looks like.
To understand this - look at my previous post - it is a walk tunnel decorated for Christmas they had red lights strobing from the rear to where I was standing. Then ran the green lights the same as shown in previous photo.

The Palouse is one of my favorite places... it is just so unique. On this trip, I was treated to a light show as a storm rolls in. This lightning strike was so bright that it left me blinking for several minutes.
Palouse from Steptoe Butte, Washington.
These luscious lashes belong to our granddaughter. I tried the open eye shot but she kept blinking, I guess the macro lens thingy was getting in the way.
Is she blinking or did she lose an eye? I don't know; i suspect the latter. But what I'd really like to know is how did she get her head on backwards?
The nesting cycle here on the northern prairie runs through May and June, and she was busily bringing material to a snug little bird house along the fence line.
This ends the "birds with nesting material" photo set; tomorrow, a chance encounter. Surprises are the best part of any outing.

Ahhh the Saw by… a strategy for meeting trains that was east with cabeese or extensively staffed passenger trains. Today the little blinking box can’t protect a shove so the strategy is rare. Then comes along the N&W 611 and its inability to go through the turnout at the east end of the North Mountain siding. CSX E207 is one of a couple CSX trains that runs over the Buckingham Branch’s ex C&O line that goes between Richmond and Clifton Forge. This line was a more gradient heavy and longer route that went via multiple larger towns. C&O’s main route followed the James River to the south. It was used primarily as a passenger route, but in a post 71 Amtrak world, passenger routes are rare. The passing sidings are all horribly short for this reason even for the standards of prePSR. Buckingham Branch took the line over a few years ago to handle local traffic while CSX uses it to send west bound empties and grain. No EB CSX trains run this route. Amtrak also runs the Cardinal 3 times a week. E207 came up on the line up early Sunday morning, so we headed east to intercept. Something was odd though, they were crawling. Empty buckets and 4 units shouldn’t have been that much of a problem, until the train came into view at the Little Rock Tunnel with a Smokey leader. The engineer opened his window and called out “The Turbo went!” Welp… 611 then dialed up the dispatcher and the meet was set at North Mountain. The BB dispatchers really proved how good they are at lining up these meets as the moment we heard the E207 blowing for a distant crossing at the west end switch, 611 came around the corner. The two trains had a rolling meet and as soon as the tail of the excursion came into the siding they stopped. E207 cleared up, 611 backed out with help from the diesels on the rear, and they continued east. This is a train meet no railfan, foamer, or casual spectator could have imagined seeing in the modern day, but it happened, and it was one of the coolest things I’ve seen.

Railroad cabooses used to weigh between 25 and 30 Tons, now they only weigh about forty pounds.
And many cabooses of the past were also painted red, but today the small EOT variety bringing up the rear of a train can still be that bright color, if you are able to catch its blinking LED light flashing at just the right moment.

Mission Log:/ We woke up to blinking red lights on the station, something about Separatists were attacking Tipoca City? We had orders to take up arms and head down to the ocean floor to help the 212th take out the forces who were destroying the support structures of Kamino and Tapico City…
Well guys I’m back with a new build I’ve had built for awhile now and I’m happy to see how it turned out! I was heavily inspired by @legiondude with his support structure for his mission build! Let know what y’all think in the comments below and have a good one :D

Bless him eh ❤️ how blinking massive is he ….and how incredibly handsome! There’s an invisible pull to his gaze. - though I haven’t a clue what caught his attention…..such a quiet stillness to this area, I have to admit even though it was daytime I was getting the chills. I’m quite attached to this beautiful soul and the love and protection he’s brought into our lives …not to mention he’s hilarious….hooman h’ and I were having a goodnight hug and he plonks himself right on top of us , and his love for his Jaffa Cake the cat just melts my heart as much as it amuses me - watching a dog wag its tail in excitement over a putty cat, well it would take a hard heart not to soften at that…tbh at this rate they’ll be recreating the 90s add for British Gas…is it a duck or a mouse need to complete the scene…you’ll probably inform me it was actually the 80s too 😁
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Yawning, I woke up, wondering what woke me. It was still dark in the bedroom I shared with my 6-year-old twin brother, and he was asleep in the twin bed, on the opposite side of our bedroom.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
The sound was coming from the window. Blinking, I sat up.
A clown stared at me through the closed window.
I've never been afraid of clowns. I wasn't scared, but I was surprised.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Now, I saw what was causing the noise. The clown raised his hand and tapped on the glass with his fingernail. I waved at the clown, and the clown waved back. Then it pointed into the room then at itself. Clearly, it wanted to come inside, but the window was locked.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
When my brother screams, it sounds like a bunch of girls screaming when cold water from a garden hose is turned on them. Don't ask me how I know.
My brother started screaming, I nearly fell out of my bed, and Mom and Dad ran into the room.
While they tried to calm him down, I looked at the window. The clown was gone.
Our dad found footprints under the window and called the police. That night stands out in my mind, to this day, because of all the excitement.
There's another reason.
Maybe a month or so after that night, I overheard our parents talking about a man who played a birthday clown at a popular kid-centric restaurant and gaming center. He'd been killed after he left work, the same night I'd seen then clown in my window.
His head had been cut off. It was never found. Neither was his killer.
I'm still not afraid of clowns, but as I've gotten older, I always keep my doors and windows locked, and my curtains closed.
So, what had I seen at my window? Who was trying to get into my bedroom?
Why am I asking now, so many years later?
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Because there's a noise at my bedroom window.
I was hoping for dark skies and planned to try a long exposure of the sky to get some star trails but I could not get my remote control intervalometer to work right.....I read the directions over and over and still no luck, I guess I should have figured it out before I left home. As you can see, even with all the light from the wharf and town, the sky is still nice and dark in this area.. (two shot vertorama) Shot was taken from just outside the room we were staying at so I planned to set up the camera and enjoy a lovely glass of wine and some TV while the camera worked away. I do like the satellite (or is it the space station) blinking its way across the top of the sky.
