Nice to see it preening. I agree with Roopak, there seems to be lot of noise and loss of details. Did you can try using a hide, that will help to get them closer. Thanks for sharing.

In bird photography no lens can be long enough in certain situations. If no hide is available, then I place two of my tripods and hang a green jacket infront to hide myself. At times I have also placed my long lens case by the side of the tripod to block the view. Then wrapping myself with a towel helps.
