That's an amazing capture.
An award winning shot I'd suspect. You should enter that in every nature competition you find.

....... thanks for the comments

I am going to try and get some more shots in the same area if the birds cooperate, as there were 3 different species feeding.

Great catch, a couple of points though. It could do with a better head angle, the legs in the frame at least (cropping behind the legs is reasonable) and perhaps even a bit of a CW rotation, as it appears to be tilted. 8)
