These birds usually feed over the "tajinaste", a typical canary flower.

Very nicely done. Love the flower and the BKGR. Wish only that the head was perfectly parallel to the imaging sensor.

A very nice environmental shot, appreciate the story. Well exposed, nice composition.
The head/eye could use just a bit more sharpening, and I might back the saturation back a bit. I find the yellow background areas a bit much, and perhaps burning them in a bit coupled with the lower sat. would help concentrate on the bird.
In perfect world, the head a bit more towards us, but the activity is so well captured it doesn't bother me as is.
Thanks for sharing!
