Birds of prey soar very high in the sky. Hawks and buzzards have very keen eyesight to pick out even small

animals on the ground.

In the fovea – the most sensitive part of the retina of the eye – a buzzard has one million light sensitive

cells in a square millimeter – five times as much as man has!

Small wonder that its vision is very sharp and it can pick out even the smallest movements on the ground.

Now we can appreciate the significance of “hawk-eyed” people who will miss nothing that is happening.
