Looks like it was a bit far. Not easy to capture these guys, unless you wait for them to pop up close. The background does attract attention.

Nice sighting. Agree it would have been good, if it was a bit larger in the frame. You could have composed with adding the space from the right to the left. Thanks for sharing.
