Also known as the Robber Fly.These flies are aerial or ambush hunters with excellent eyesight. They stab their prey and inject a protein dissolving saliva.
In case you had a problem seeing it they made this Ohakune town marker extra large. To the right is Mount Ruapehu.
In reality (?) you need to eat carrots to improve your eyesight in low light (not just look at them!).
Bengal eagle-owl
Bengaalse oehoe
Bubo Bengalensis
also called Indian eagle-owl
This eagle-owl mostly hunts at dusk and dawn. With it's strong eyesight, it searces for prey from the trees. Once spotted, it approaches its prey silently thanks tot its soft feathering.
One of 6 species to be found in the UK and sometimes known as the Assassin fly and can be found in scrubby grasslands and woodland edges. These flies are aerial or ambush hunters with excellent eyesight and will stab their prey and inject a protein dissolving saliva in which to kill and help digest their prey.

The resident female Hedgehog was out foraging in the garden just after dawn today, but could not be tempted with a bowl of water or dried food pellets. She was found grossly underweight earlier this year and taken to a local animal shelter where she was brought up to a proper weight before being released back into the garden.
Fascinating facts about Hedgehogs: a group of hedgehogs is called an 'array’; a hedgehog has between 5,000 and 7,000 quills; there are 17 different species of hedgehog; and hedgehogs have poor eyesight, so rely predominantly on their smell and hearing to navigate.
Fastest mammal on land, the cheetah can reach speeds of 60 or perhaps even 70 miles (97 or 113 kilometers) an hour over short distances. It usually chases its prey at only about half that speed, however. The cheetah's excellent eyesight helps it find prey during the day. Sometimes it perches on high places and watches for prey.
Boxer Danny Carter after a knock down - this was obviously the end of the road for him (at this particular fight).
I have a few shots of his distress after the defeat at the gloves of Andy Keates, but I like this particular edit with the ref's hand pointing down at the edge of the shot. Also, the cornerman blurred, anxious and rushing to give assistance - blurred, perhaps, like Danny's eyesight at that given moment. He was in a bad way at the time and had to be given medical attention inside the ring: unusual as they are normally taken off out of the ring first and then treated backstage.
I was so concerned about his welfare, I messaged Danny a while afterwards and he said he was okay. All in a day's work for him, perhaps. Mind you after seeing how punch-drunk big hitters like Tommy Hearns are now, (I have met him - charming fellow but messed up by boxing - slurred speech etc) who knows the lasting impact.... Hearns was a boxing great for anyone who doesn't know.)

A Superb Starling is seen helping itself to what appears to be a small grasshopper. It's eyesight must be pretty good as we watched to swoop from a nearby bush to collect this meal.
As can be seen this bird is extremely colourful and as its name suggests it has a Superbly bright plumage. They were everywhere on our trip, in villages, at the roadside or like this example deep within the national parks. They occupy a range within a broad band down the east of African from Eritrea to Tanzania and like many starlings are opportunist omnivores that have a diet of seeds, fruits, insects and as seen here crops pests.
This seagull was far away from the ship, and I waved a health bar. From the distance, I must have been a speck on the ship, but the seagull noticed and flew in for his treat. Later, he came back to us - although I would assume that all the balconies on a ship must seem quite similar.
Helios 44M-4 58mm f/2.0 + Intermediate rings + Convoy S2+ ( XM-L2 T4-7A 3000 - 3200K ) + tripod. Photo from a drawer.
You don't have poor eyesight. That was my intention to get the smallest depth of field using intermediate rings. Bright sparkling focus points are only visible when zoomed in. By the way, I think that this combination for this lens (Helios 44M-4 58mm f / 2.0 + K&F Concept M42 adapter - M4 / 3 + intermediate rings without 7mm signal transmission + 14mm + 28mm + focus peaking) is a real competition for M .Zuiko 60mm f / 2.8, despite the fact that it only sharpens from 0.5 m, and the Olympus from 0.19 m. And the class itself is the versions of this lens converted to Petzval (Swirly bokeh) - as seen on Juzaphoto - Reviews »Lenses» Lenses Zenit »Zenit Helios MC 44M-4 58mm f / 2.0.
Macaw eye and surrounding feathers forming an interesting pattern.
.
From Macaw Facts:
.
Macaws are birds who are more active in the day so the bulb of their eye is flattened and substantially shallow. Parrots have a narrow skull and their eyes are set at the sides of their heads. This allows a macaw to see with only one eye at a time. The strategic positioning of the eyes of macaws gives them the ability to view almost 360 degrees. This means that they can see most of what is in their front, back, above and below.
Another feature about a macaw’s eye is that it can move the eye bulb inside its socket. Not all birds can boast of this amazing capability. It helps macaws keep an eye out for danger without turning their heads.
Macaws can also see almost two to three times better than us. Their eyesight is excellent when it comes to perceiving details and motion. In addition to their keen eyesight, birds also have the ability to see a different spectrum of colors. Humans can see red, green and blue wavelengths while macaws can see violet wavelength in addition to the other wavelengths that we can see.
P1740251 - Brown Shrike - male - Size - 18-19 cm
# 353 - 22 Feb '2019 - 19:36 (14:06 GMT)
Brown Shrike - 1st winter male (cristatus) - in our backyard.
The Brown Shrike (Lanius cristatus) - is a bird in the shrike family that is found mainly in Asia. It is closely related to the red-backed shrike (L. collurio) and isabelline shrike (L. isabellinus).
WONDERFUL FACTS - Vultures have keen eyesight ...
It is believed they are able to spot a three-foot carcass from four miles ( ~7 kilometres) away on the open plains. ... Many species of vultures feed together with little competition, because they do not feed on the same kind of meat within the carcass. 🐾
Happy birding 🐧
This Jumping spider is often found on wooden fences or under tree bark where it will spin its silk cell. All jumping spiders have excellent eyesight in which to stalk their prey. This close-up shown here is an adult female as only the female has the red and yellow around the front of her 4 eyes, there is also 2 smaller eyes further back. Although found widespread over much of the UK this jumping spider species is still scare in the south-east of England.
Young badger at The Pixies.
As I was watching new father, the great spotted woodpecker, feeding his first born, this little guy snuffled along the burn (stream) and began helping himself to the scattered peanuts. I can only assume the noise of the water disguised my footsteps, as I was about a foot away from him, just after this was taken. Eyesight is not great, and the breeze must have been behind him, I suppose. Consequently, I spent about ten minutes in his immediate vicinity, watching and photographing him. It was lovely! I feel so blessed and lucky to have these guys nearby.

The male Downy Woodpecker has a red nuchal patch (relating to the nape of the neck) that doesn't necessarily show as a juvenile. www.birdsbybent.com/ Despite my poor eyesight, I’ve learned to spot these smallest of woodpeckers.
This little male concentrated on its work until another sound interrupted it. "At the slightest alarm it disappears; it uses a branch as a shield--slipping behind it, safe from observation or attack." ~ birdsbybent.com
This lone zebra among the wildebeest was keeping an eye on our jeep at Masai Mara.
Zebras and wildebeest have a symbiotic relationship. They are good at looking out for each other at potential threats in different ways. Zebra has good eyesight while the wildebeest has good hearing and smell. They also migrate in harmony because they eat different parts of the same grass in the savannah.

Female Kingfisher with prey. This time a Dragonfly larva thought to be a Common Darter larva (Sympetrum striolatum).
The small pond by Phil's hide has very few fish in it and due to this it has large numbers of Dragonfly larva. The Kingfisher has become very adept at catching these to supplement its diet.
Phil and I have tried to look for the larva in the pond but they are virtually impossible to see. The bird has an amazing eyesight to see them and catch them in good numbers.
Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Spare a little candle, save some light for me
Figures up ahead, movin' in the trees
White skin in linen, perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge, shadows where I stand
I search for the time on a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly, come closer than this
But all I remember are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away (the further I'm away)
Is it cloak and dagger? Could it be spring or fall?

Without human intervention, foxes can recover from mange, but serious infections can prove fatal. The disease is caused by a highly infectious mite, which burrows just under the surface of the animal's skin.
This is a fox that has been here all winter, mate to a very healthy looking fox. His eyes and eyesight seem to be affected in these images. I watched him hunt for a while and he wasn't having much success.
I have been in touch with a rehabber that is going to help me try to treat this poor thing and its mate. Prognosis is great , if treated in time.
and I'm trying to limit the time I spend online due to worsening eyesight. I'm really not ignoring you, dear friends...
This image was taken exactly five years ago.
The loggerhead shrike, Lanius ludovicianus, looks like just another songbird. Intimidatig it ain't. That is until you get a close look at the curved beak and the idea pops into your brain that something else must going on with this bird.
And you'd be right. Despite its relatively diminutive size, the loggerhead shrike is a bird of prey as well as a songbird. Despite its lack of stature, it is able to carry prey as big as itself. It has a body length of about nine or 10 inches and wingspan of about a foot. It is a gray bird, with a black mask, black wings with a white patch and a black tail. Its bill is short, curved raptor-like at the tip but it doesn't have raptor-like talons. It does have extraordinary eyesight that enables it to spot a grasshopper — a favorite food — at 70 yards.
The loggerhead is a year-round resident of Florida as well as much of the southern and central United States. There are also migratory populations that spend the summer farther north into Canada and winter in parts of Texas and Mexico.
I found this one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.
Having an acute sense of smell and hearing as well as eyesight, this buck turned my way before dashing off up the stubble field.
"Because they find prey using the sensitive tips of their bills, and not just eyesight, Willets can feed both during the day and at night." Information from the All About Birds website, www.allaboutbirds.org, © Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
As the name suggests, these tiny butterflies have a wingspan of just 16-27mm.
They certainly tested my eyesight to the limit as I tried to follow their flight path across the meadow!

P1520220 - Tso Moriri or Mountain Lake - Ladakh
# 297 - 16 July '18 - 16:35 (11:05 GMT)
Tso Moriri or Lake Moriri or Mountain Lake - is a lake in the Ladakhi part of the Changthang Plateau (literally: northern plains) in - Transhimalaya - Ladakh - Kashmir, India.
The lake and surrounding area are protected as the Tso Moriri Wetland Conservation Reserve.
The lake is at an altitude of 4,522m (14,836 ft). It is the largest of the high altitude lakes entirely within India and entirely within Ladakh in this Trans-Himalayan biogeographic region. It is about 26 km (16 miles) north to south in length and 3 to 5 km (two to three miles) wide. The lake has no outlet at present and the water is brackish though not very perceptible to taste.
The lake is fed by springs and snow-melt from neighbouring mountains. Most water enters the lake in two major stream systems, one entering the lake from the north, the other from the southwest. (wikipedia)

The six-banded armadillo ( euphractus sexcinctus) generally enjoying life.
Although only short, it has extremely powerful legs which are used for digging. As it digs it piling dirt underneath itself with its front claws, throwing it behind itself with its hind claws.
They have very poor eyesight, and so rely on other senses such as hearing and smell to detect food and avoid predators.
Interestingly, they are closely related to anteaters and sloths. They are also good swimmers!
Many thanks for your kind comments, which are always appreciated.
(Natrix natrix) Ecdysis occurs at least once during the active season. As the outer skin wears and the snake grows, the new skin forms underneath the old, including the eye scales which may turn a milky blue/white colour at this time — referred to as being 'in blue'. The blue-white colour comes from an oily secretion between the old and new skins; the snake's colouration will also look dull, as though the animal is dusty. This process affects the eyesight of the snakes and they do not move or hunt during this time; they are also, in common with most other snakes, more aggressive. The outer skin is eventually sloughed in one piece (inside-out) and normal movement activity is resumed.
This Kestrel used a telegraph pole as vantage point using its keen eyesight to detect the presence of prey - a vole, maybe, in the grass below, before descending.

From the tree I could see from my window that drew my attention. I had to wait for it to swing towards me then hold my breath and shoot lol...my poor eyesight meant I could not see the stamens till the photos were on my PC, the wind was capricious and I had to keep waiting for a least a slight lull and when a branch would swing my way. Digital is what makes these photos possible and i am so thankful for it.. I bought magnifying eyepieces but they get in the way of the tilt screen but hey ho I manage with extra strong spectacles from a well known online shop that are 6 times magnification (just in case that information info helps anyone else ) I was pleased I made that effort as already they are finishing and looking dull pink on this cloudy morning...
Thank you so much for your faves and comments and especially to those asking if I am feeling any better..not really as I could not get out to take any photos yesterday but who knows what today might bring...Sue x
My heart is with Ukraine 🇺🇦
If you think an owl isn't going to notice you... think again
Top notch eyesight combined with ultra sensitive hearing means you can wear all the camouflage you want., they'll know you're there
Luckily most of the time they're people friendly., meaning sooner or later (and with a little patience) they'll present you with a 'photo-opportunity'
Dear reader, this photograph was taken whilst I was trying to cool off in the high up barrio antiguo in Alicante…30ºc ain’t funny when you is old an’ that.
Hopefully, you’ll forgive the slight misfocus. I intended for more of the leaf to fall into the dof, but a combo of dull eyesight, excess perspiration and a death rattle wheezing from my larynx prevented this being a magnum opus…c’est la vie
This Barn Owl landed ten metres from me probably due to it's poor eyesight, it seems to be blind in one eye. As soon as it realised I was close it let out a loud screech and promptly flew away.
For the Smile On Saturday challenge ‘Nothing In Focus’. Everything in the image has to be blurry. This is a photograph I took last year in the the tiny wildflower garden I made. I love this photograph, so I’m pleased to have a chance to use it. I normally challenge myself to have at least one critical but small bit of an image in focus. The main problem is my eyesight, rather than the camera. So I rely more and more on automatic settings and I delete a lot of images too. However, this image survived the cut and I’m glad it did.
This Raptor loves open country where it can be found hunting or perched low to the ground. Wet meadows, prairies, fields, marshes and tundra are all favored habitats of this species. Most of their lives is spent low to the ground since while hunting they fly low over grasslands and short vegetation pouncing on prey from the air. Their diet consists of small mammals, some insects, amphibians and small birds. Quite often when we see them flying back and forth looking and listening for prey we notice that they have been joined by one or more Northern Harriers.
When they find an area where prey is abundant, a large group of Short-eared Owls will gather especially in winter and have been found to form a communal roost of as many as 200 birds which seems unnatural for a species that is so aggressive defending its territory in breeding season.
This silently flying adult is using its keen eyesight and acute hearing while hunting a meadow.
Wild Rabbits are prey animals. When out of the burrow, they are constantly on the lookout for predators, such as foxes. Once they detect a danger they can signal to others by thumping their hind legs, before seeking the shelter of the burrow. Spotting predators quickly gives them the best chance of getting back before being caught. Therefore, they have good hearing, and sight, and an excellent sense of smell.
They have nearly 360° panoramic vision, allowing them to detect predators from all directions; they can see everything behind them and only have a small blind-spot in front of their nose. Their eyesight is geared towards detecting movement at great distances, however, so their up-close vision is limited. Whilst their vision is good, their sense of smell is better, and they will likely be able to smell a predator before they see them.
Rabbits hear in a similar range to humans, but they can detect higher frequency sounds than we can. Their hearing is highly developed, and they can detect sounds from far away. Rabbit ears can move independently of each other, a feature which is used by rabbits to help work out where a sound is coming from.
Difficult when you are trying to remain undetected as a Photographer.
Albino Zebra - have a lot less melanin in their skin and consequently, their stripes are much lighter. Their eyesight can also be affected, and it is thought that the black and white stripes of the normal Zebra offer protection from insects, so, the Albinos are more prone to picking up insect borne diseases which inevitably shorten their life-span. The black and white stripes also provide a degree of camouflage.
This is a desert bird in Jordan. Along with others, they exist in the sandy and rocky areas here in the south and the east. One can find these hunting and foraging alone or in pairs. They are almost easily seen against the reddish brown backdrop which is kind of strange given there are raptors in the sky and on nearby lookouts too, certainly with better eyesight than me!
When you are out in the forest, you can count yourself lucky if you spot a Great Horned Owl. More often then not with its exceptional eyesight, a Great Horned Owl will see you before you ever see it.
The owl shown was in an Oak Tree at the forest's edge likely hunting for rodents in the tall dry grass below. Not long after taking photos of it, the owl flew deep into the darker forested area where it blended into its surroundings.
Dieser Hase war gerade aus dem Gestrüpp rechts auf den Weg gekommen und ich hatte versucht mich ihm unauffällig zu nähern. Hasen haben zwar große Augen, können aber trotzdem schlecht sehen. Das Foto zeigt den Moment als er leider meine Schritte auf dem knirschenden Schnee gehört hat. Ich konnte sehen, wie er die Ohren spitz machte. In der nächsten Sekunde war die Gelegenheit für ein weiteres Foto vorbei, er hoppelte davon.

This Hare had just emerged from the undergrowth on the right onto the path and I had tried to approach it unobtrusively. Hares have big eyes, but they have surprisingly poor eyesight. The photo shows the moment when it unfortunately heard my footsteps on the crunching snow. I could see it perking up its ears. In the next second the opportunity for another photo was gone, it scampered away.
