Congrats on capturing a photograph of a rarity. For me there are couple things that don't appeal to me on this one. The perch (it is interesting, but not very natural) and the high angle of the bird. This looks to be a pretty high ISO, so you probably can't crop closer without some noise, but it would be nice to see the bird a little closer. :)
Nice Mercedes! Though I agree with Bryan's critique above I actually like this one. The bird seems to have lots of spirit.

Hi, thanks Arthur and Bryan!
I agree it would been nicer if I could crop it a bit closer to the bird. But I like the Mercedes symbol and the rusty parts of the car, so if I crop and still want them in the picture I get very tight.
