Is there anyway to get a higher viewpoint and get rid of the sky, Great to have these little guys out in the open but feel there are better opportunities compositionally

Interesting shot but there is a lot of noise? in the background. :toast:

the high iso has not done any favours here but a very nice image..

Very nice,playful little image.Excessive 'noise' doesn't help.A slightly longer lens or converter/extender would help to cut out some of that sky or try cloning some of the background trees into the bright sky areas.
