The flight pose is nice. Wish you were more to the left to enhance the eye contact further. Is this a crop, as there seems to be some loss of details. Thanks for sharing.

Images of birds flying into the frame looks good. So you need to click before it passes by your side.

If it is a large crop ie. if the subject ie. bird is small in the frame and you are using centre AF point then use of Centre weighted metering may be ok with a few tweakings.

Yes Mrudul, this is cropped and since it was cloudy morning and absolutely low light could get so much details on the subject.Thanks.
