excellent, (It looks a tad over sharpened - but again with a sky like that with high contrast lighting it probably isn't... I would love to see the big image )

Amazing capture, to have the presence of mind to get two in the frame is fantastic. You must be have been grinning from ear to ear with your shots.
Terrific work
The repost is better but I am sure the full size image is even more stunning. I think this image suffers from trying to get the maximum detail within the constraints of the posting guidelines.
Cracking behavioural shot and beautifully framed.

What an impressive image of an equally impressive species.
You couldn't wish for better positioning.
Looks like the slight halo/bloom around the birds is a result of to high a setting when using the Shadow/highlight command,or whatever process you used.
Easily corrected though by re-processing and selecting just the birds prior to lightening,etc.
