Stuart:

Those are some sturdy legs.:)
Like the ruffled feathers, details in the feathers.
Exposure is close, with some hot spots in the whites. Light was harsh enough that exposure would always be a challenge.
The eye could be a bit sharper.

Not my favorite foreground, but as they say, that was where the bird was!

Cheers

Hi Stuart

Nice details on the birds. Well exposed. I would crop a little more from the top.

Lovely subject (is it an Egyptian Goose), the yellow eye looks great. Love the detail in the bird.
