Hi RAZD,
The plain fact is that we also do not have the ultra-violet vision that birds have . . .
You are correct, but thought you might find this interesting . . .
When I was researching IR photography, I came across some sites that seem to indicate humans DO have the potential for seeing UV, if not for the lens absorbing harmful UV light. Indeed, it seems, after cataract surgery, humans can see "near-" UV light.
Cool!
