The Boatsman!!!

This guy was preening itself standing on a wrecked boat. It was shaking off the water from its feathers when I clicked this.

Wish I had a natural perch.

The eye contact is nice. Its good that you included it in full. An higher shutter speed would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot. I like the low SS motion blur in this image. The head looks sharp enough. The highlights on the boat are a little distracting, a darker perch would have been better.

The eye contact is nice. A shutter speed higher than 1/250 would have helped in freezing it.

Cheers,
