Hi a nice flight shot of a particularly difficult species to get in-flight I think the head looks a tad soft perhaps a little more sharpening.
Phillip.

Hi Brian
Nice to get a shot from above of a "woody" (we call them 'cushies' up here). Agree with Phillip that there is a wee bit of softness but maybe nothing that a bit more Unshap Mask wouldn't put right.
Good shot of the Pidgeon!! I have been trying my hand at the flight photo's but cant get them right yet.
Been on St Bee's for the start of the week and stayed in Cleator Moor. Got some good shot's from the woods and stuff in that area will post them next week. Yeah i know what you mean about the sunshine, i got soaked and blew away nearly everyday!!

Very hard bird to photograph in flight so well done
As Phillip and others have said, perhaps it could do with a tad more sharpness, and on a 1.7x sensor cam I'd really be looking for a much higher shutter speed with a 400mm - don't be cautious about pushing that ISO speed
