This guy was watching me, and following me around, when I was trying to capture some photos of swans at the nature reserve by the lake Hjälmaren. It was like he was saying "Arn´t you going to take my picture, just look at my beautiful blue eyes!" So of course I had to take this photo of him.

-Quote from wikipedia- The Jackdaw (Corvus monedula), sometimes known as the Eurasian Jackdaw, European Jackdaw, Western Jackdaw, or formerly simply the daw, is a dark-plumaged passerine bird in the crow family. It is found across Europe, western Asia and North Africa.

All comments are most wellcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

The first three positions are to you, Susanne.

"Observer" is right. His stare is fixed on something perhaps on you and your camera. Nice shot of the bird!

Ah yes jackdaws. Some of the most intelligent of all birds apparently. Nice shot here, I like the blue of his eye and the angles of the two rocks make for a strong composition.
