The light, perch, background as well as the bird itself are just great!

Amazing bird, and the shot of the adult alone would make a terrific picture. To get it with the feeding action...

Great photo. Is this a female screaming at her mate?
I've seen those birds in Malaga couple of years ago but did not have telephoto lens with me to take their pictures.

Cheers,

Wow, this is top-notch !

My only suggestions are less flash fill and a little more room on all sides.
