Taken from the same spot as my picture of one on the waterfall. This was about 8 foot on from the waterfall. Took a fair few of this shot but the little fella was always looking out of the frame to the right, then he finally turned to look the other way for a brief second so I got the shot I wanted.
D200, 200-400 VR + 1.4TC, 1/60 second at f5.6. ISO 400
I like te way you've included the environment here but i think it needs a little more space at the top. The wagtail seems a little squashed in, particularly with the pose he's in.
A nice enough shot but I also feel the composition could be improved by having a bit more space above the bird, it feels a little bit cramped at the moment. However your idea is good so hopefully you will get more opportunities to perfect this shot.

Not as good as your first, a tad soft looks the the rock just in front is sharper
