Great detail and bird, Marko. Seeing as you and I are doing "honest critique" ;) If possible; I would probably have given the bird more room in the frame to fly into

An excellent flight capture of this interesting bird. That bill looks like it has been decorated with designs.

Well...I can't say he's a handsome fellow. LOL. But he certainly has a lot of character, and you have certainly given him a perfect presentation! Beautiful detail and flight capture!!!
