Pink eyelids, different!
Thanks a lot Claire, but this was more or less fire at will - zoo shootings ;)

That's a new one for me, Lars...those eyelids are pretty special. I always look at your sitings...you have THE EYE!
Wow! That is an amazing photo! What a beautiful bird, I love his eyes & his face Lars. Fantastic!
