Not just blue - they're lilac :eek!: Even more striking perhaps on his green mate |=)|

You are right can't say I have ever seen eyes like those before. They look like Paul Newman's eyes. Funny I used to think why do I have to have brown eyes when I see felines with blue eyes? My Dad has blue eyes and both his parents had brown eyes. Anyway sorry for rambling and that is one super picture, Delia.

A bird I find difficult to photograph, the black seems to absorb all light! A wonderful eye, tfs Delia.
