The flight pose and the nesting material in the bill are excellent.
I wish you didn't have the shadow on the wing but that is not much of an
issue here. The BG on the right has nice colors, but the part on the left
needs some work. I would either include more of it to make it clear
the bird was on a man-made garden, or I would try to crop and blur
to eliminate it somehow. At f/6.1 there are too many details in the BG
that compete with the great flight pose.

Hi Stuart: You have nice action here but I feel the BG is too busy. I also find the bird is too centered in the frame.
