Everything looks real nice. The exposure looks spot on and I love the background.

I have only two suggestions:

1. Crop off some of the rock, its to large for the bird.
2. You mentioned it was overcast, this would've been the perfect time to have a flash.
With the flash you would've been able to add a catch light to the eye.

good advice by Doug. agree with everything he has said. another thing you could have done here is increase the ISO but stop down a bit for more DOF.
