Eureka lemon tree shedding small fruits, is it normal?

I would concur that it is normal.  The Eureka lemon  I used to have (before I moved)  would drop lots of fruit.  It always set much more that it could bear and would drop most of the initial set.  The only difference with my experience is that the largest fruit that would self thin from my tree were the size of the smaller ones that your tree seems to be dropping.

I always liked that about the lemon, as opposed to my Navel orange where I had to strip off 75% of the young fruit every spring!

Thank you guys for your input. So "large fruit load, watered too much or little, and fertilizer"?? Guilty on all counts! The photo is not the best quality, but this tree is not in shade at all. Pretty much sun all day.
