I posted earlier three photos of a Kesterel which was driven away by a Carrion Crow,immediatly after the Kesterel went in came a Buzzard. I managed three photos of the Buzzard and in the last photo I noticed that one eye had been damaged looks like its lost it. The more I look is it possible that in these three photos there are two different birds. I thought that I had pressed the shutter and taken loads of photos of the same bird. It can't be one of Saturdays photo as this is the same post and the background blue is the sea. Weird.

You managed to photograph the bird´s nictitating membrane in the second pic.
Also known as third eyelid. Nothing wrong with this Buzzard. Nice pictures.

Best regards,
