After a spell of bad weather, it was time to get outside and enjoy some sunshine. Being grateful for the much-needed moisture this winter and armed with my camera, I have an idea. Let’s go try and get a few shots of an eagle’s eye.
What is special about an eagle’s eyes?
An eagle’s vision is exceptionally sharp because each eye has two foveae – areas of acute vision – as compared with the human eye which only has one. The cones in the eagle’s fovea are very small and tightly grouped, allowing the eagle to see small details from extreme distances.
