Saw the bird whilst driving. Managed to stop quick enough to get a couple of shots.
Would appreciate any comments

Hi Pieter,
I like the HA and the composition. The bird is very soft though and head is a bit blurry,

Great head turn and wing position...Image is OOF though. Missed this one im afraid! TFS

I agree with the others about the softness Pieter. I suspect you have cropped too tight. If you have try presenting with more space around your subject and it could look real sweet. These little birds are tough in fight.
