Two things would make this a better image: Better head angle (that is the #1 concern here), and remaval of the bright circle in LLC. Otherwise exposure and sharpness, and colours look good. With that shutter speed and focal lenght I assume you had a tripod, but I would still raise the ISO higher to give you better SS and thus lower your percentage of "trashed" images due to various types of blur (camera shake, subject motion blur).
Great find, good exposure control and the composition looks good, too. Daniel already addressed the main concerns.
Gorgeous bird - cant wait to see your next one with a good HA.
Thanks for the constructive comments mates !
Now lets hope its still there for me to obtain a better image.
Cheers
