Muy bien Raul. Quizas un poco suave el enfoque sobre la cria. Con paciencia puedes tomar la foto de la cria sobre el ave.

Nice find and soft light. I would crop a bit off the bottom and sharpen the birds more. Is this a heavy crop? I might try to remove the OOF blade of grass in the lower right.

Thanks for comments.

Rafael, I do have picture of "riding" babies, actually I posted one two days ago.

Axel, Unfortunately this is a huge crop. I darken and blur the blade of grass a little bit, but my PS skills are not up to the task of removing objects, unless they are in a solid background.

Very well captured Raul under difficult circumstances. Not only are they far away but the lighting can be a real challenge. Congratulations Raul on a lovely composition.
