I am fortunate to have a nature reserve close to my house, and have quite a variety of birds to be able to capture against some lovely BG's. This was taken earlier in the year.
Canon 50D

Super comp, image is nice sharp and I like the green summer background colours.
beautiful image Stu.
The light and expo is just spot on to me. Perch any one could have wished for just perfect. (can be straighten as vert as an option).
I may give hand to OOF brown curvy stick touching the leg from LRC as arc ..
Nice one Stuart! Beautiful bird albeit a little scruffy looking. I like the perch not being perfectly vertical, but agree with Mital that you could blend the faint OOF stem in LRC. Nice comp.
Stuart:
Nice to have a good spot near to home. I have one also, nice to know you can pop over for a bit, even when you don't have time for an expedition!
Good points above. I personally would try a version cropped up from the bottom, between the two leaf clusters, and a small crop on the left to keep it from getting too square . His head turn and eye contact is such that you don't need a lot of space on the left.
Just an optional crop to try.
Cheers

Stuart, excellent...good comp., nice blacks, sharpness and sweet BG.
A beauty Stuart. I think the scruffiness adds to the image. The OOF stem works for me.
Thanks a stack for the varied feedback guys. Its always good to see how others vary with their thoughts.
Love the perch, BG and pose. Well done.
Great control in keeping the blacks true to what you saw. The placement of the bird in the frame is very pleasing.
Lovely image, Stu. Love the bg, the perch, the perfect head turn and the super cute bird. Very nice.
Stuart, Beautiful background, nice comp and sharp bird :S3: Nicely done.
Thanks a stack for the feedback everyone. Always appreciated.
