Hi natureguy
Thank you for your submission.
Were you able to observe the eyes clearly, and if so did they look normal and clear? In the photo the right one looks little cloudy, however I have found its not uncommon for the light to reflect off Swamp Wallaby eyes in this manner, making them appear somewhat cloudy.
Many thanks, Shell

Hi Shell, we have a resident pair of Swampies and they are relatively tame, allowing you within about 5 metres. Both of them seem to have both normal eyes. This image is probably just a reflection off the eye.
Thanks for inquiring, Luke.

Many thanks Luke, that's great. The reflection seems particularly common in Swampies, I don't it as commonly in other macropods. If you do happen to encounter any Swampies with actual cloudy eyes, I would to hear from you again! Many thanks, Shell
