Nice colour to the BG, and the subject's wings look very good. Some colour noise on the rump area. I'd have preferred a more pronounced banking angle from the subject (out of your control) and less of a centred composition.

Thanks Daniel, that's the second time in a week I have had a lesson in paying attention to detail! The colour noise came from a dodging attempt to bring more detail out of that area.
