Ashridge Halloween

I was slightly amazed when I downloaded my photos of the Ashridge Fallow Deer rut last week to come across this photo.  What was the buck and does looking at?  I had not spotted it at he time of taking the photo. Could it be an early Halloween Darth Vader helmet left by somebody in the field? 
 
Intrigued I looked at the next photo, only to find the explanation.  Slightly disappointed to find it was a Jackdaw, that had taken up a posture with its head down and its back to me, the morning sun glinting on its wings and back.
Still quite an interesting optical illusion!  Timing is everything.
