Hello Barbara, welcome to the forum. I will do my best to help as will others. There are few things good in this shot and a few bad.
The good • action and sharpness.
The bad • harsh light, composition and the birds heads are hidden or in shadows.
• Morning and afternoon light are the best for shooting.
• Always have more room in the direction the bird is moving or looking.
• A bit more DOF would have helped also along with a higher SS.
Looking forward to seeing more and hopefully be helpful.

You already have comments from two of the top people in avian photography and I wouldn't presume to try to add much. I do want to say, though, I'm impressed by your first posting (or second). It's interesting. I like the action. You have a very active background, but it is dark and blurred enough that it doesn't fight your subject. IMHO. I'm eager to see more from you.
