Jackdaw - Corvus monedula - a photo on Flickriver

            What may look like a milky cloudy eye here is in fact the nictitating membrane or sometimes known as the third eyelid. This membrane is transparent and will help to keep the eye moist and protect the eye from wind, dust and potential hazards. As well as birds having a nictitating membrane other animals such as reptiles and some mammals also have them.
