Admittingly the background is a "little" busy, but I thought the subject(s) were interesting enough to make up for it.

I like the mating action, the lower one has a good HA too, I find the BG too distracting however, the birds are just a bit lost but not much you could have done, TFS

Thanks Arash! I kept telling myself the background isn't too busy to the point of believing it ha ha. I waited and waited for a good head angle on both but the male just wouldn't comply unfortunately.
