Wow, Must have been lovely to watch this natural history moment. Few would have photographed this behaviour. Wish it were facing towards you. It is good that the egg is visible. The sharpness looks fine. Thanks for sharing.

Nice and sharp. Good that you could capture this moment. You could try adjusting the white balance a bit.
