Nice angle and with prey?
You have good access to the shorebird migration?
I would add a catchlight.

nice to get them in full plumage, if possible in shorebirds or ducks to get them at there level, it makes for a nicer image to look at.

Beautiful breeding plumage, Captured. The worm in the beak is a nice plus.

Lovely breeding plumage! Prey is always a plus. A little more DOF might have kept the entire dunlin in focus. Consider adding a catchlight.

Lovely detail of the colours and markings, and the worm is a bonus!
