    Jonathan:

    Lovely bird, sharp, well exposed, good wing position, angle in frame. Even though you left quite a bit of space to the right, I wouldn't mind a bit more.

    Where was this taken?

    Cheers

    Lovely wing flap pose, and overall, I like the colours in this. If this were mine, I would selectively sharpen the head a tad more.

    The honest answer is I don't know, they breed there and I usually visit in April

    Wonderful as above. A crop from the bottom to the middle of your name would eliminate the distracting white strip on the frame edge left of center....
