Dear Readers, they say that ‘the eyes are the windows to the soul’, and this week I thought we’d look deeply and lovingly into the eyes of some of the UK’s commonest wildlife, to see what we could see. There are fifteen eyes below, and all you need to do is to tell me who they belong to. Just to make it a smidge harder, for once I’m not going to make this multiple choice, so you can tell me who you think you’re looking at.
As per normal, I will publish the answers on Tuesday, so if you want to be marked, pop your answers in the comments here on the blog before 5 p.m. UK time on Monday. Also, you might want to write your answers down before you get to the comments if you don’t want to be influenced by those who have gone before. Finally, some of the photos are a little blurred at this magnification. Just take it as an additional challenge :-).
Onwards, and good luck!
