Dan:

Nice detail with that ISO, good light reflex, enough eye contact to help make the slightly turned away pose work.

Chick a bonus.

What kind of post work did you need to do for noise? If any.

Cheers

Ideally the duck would be angled slightly more towards you and I'd love to have seen the chick either not partly there, or more separated. I know you got no time to change position when this happens, so good job catching the action.
Toning down the brighter patch on the RHS may work too.
Lovely action Dan.
Thanks for sharing.
