Very good, Bazza. Needs to have the hair that you have on the mirror/sensor cloned out though.

Nicely done 
Would like to see the original crop though, as personally I would like to see more space to the right.
I did notice some blown highlights on the head. For whites, I underexpose by around 2 stops to keep the detail, and bring back any shadow detail in photoshop x

That "hair" is actually the radio transmitter aerial so that the bird can be located if it flies away.

Oh! I see. Still needs cloning out though.

....and for 'fast' white things - underexposing = slightly faster shutter speed. Sometimes enough to buy you a little bit back on the ISO.

Good tips above - I'd clone the 'hair' out too and would like to see a version not so heavily cropped (seems noisy?). But aside from that - nice work!

Seems to be a visible dithering DC - possibly jpeg compression - if highly compressed for the save :/
