Description
The nictitating membrane (from Latin nictare, to blink) is a transparent or translucent third eyelid present in some animals that can be drawn across the eye for protection and to moisten it while maintaining visibility.
Unlike the upper and lower eyelids, the nictitating membrane moves horizontally across the eyeball. It is normally translucent.
This Laughing Kookaburra who visited my balcony blinking with her 3rd eyelid.

Great close up profile. I see while I am commenting here that you have added more images that are not showing on the opening page. I saw this one other time last night. Your Halloween images show on this comment page but not on the opening page with all the images showing. L/F
