I like it 
. Hehe the bird seems to be giving the message of "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I like the white glare on the left hand side. It seems to give a "deeper feeling" to the pic. It's unfortunate that the tail is a bit blurry, however, it makes the rest of the bird really stand out, especially considering that the stick is also blurry.
The part of the background, which is brown, maybe you could make it a bit darker. On the other hand, the brown gives me the visual feeling (sounds weird huh? hehe) that it's sitting in an environment with many other trees.
Nice shot.

I'm not much of a photographer Alistair but Tailorbirds must be quite difficult to get a decent shot of so it looks like you've done very well
looking forward to other stuff from Malaysia
good luck

I'd say it's very nice as it is. Maybe worth experimenting with cropping some of the lighter area to the left so the blurred tail is closer to the frame edge and a bit more cropping below. If the eye was on the vertical centre line and just above the horizontal centre then I think the composition wuold work better. To my mind the blurred tail isn't that important as the centre of focus is on the head and eye where it counts. In fact some of the tail could be cropped off too.
