While I was shooting in the Central Provinces during March this year,I was very much struck by the number of buffaloes I met which had theabnormal pale blue iris to the eye. Not only this, but some animals hadone eye normal and the other of the abnormal colour, while others hadboth eyes a sort of mixture of the two, a small segment of the eye onlybeing of the normal or abnormal colour in such cases.
