Red-eye is caused when light strikes the back of the bird’s eye. But the question remains “Why did it occur in this situation?”

Maybe it’s not. The pinpoint of light in the skimmer’s eye might be a catch light from the sun. Could there be a different cause for the red eye … perhaps a large red artificial light behind you.
