Thanks david, most appreciated I am hoping the problem was with my downsizing rather than sharpening so I have had another go and replaced the image, if you look in here again can you let me know if this one is better or worse - thanks again.
Like the comp, light looks to have been a little harsh which you have handled well, seems to be a lack of detail in the lighter plumage and slightly oversharpened, could it be due to shooting the 1-4 wide open at max fl?

Nicely composed image - minor nit looks a tad over sharpened!

Nicely framed/cropped composition!
I didn't see the original, but this fine on my screen with my eyes
