Nice shots.

The second is superb, but i think it would benefit from a tighter crop

First looks blurred/OOF since the reeds behind are sharp but the birdie aint.
2nd is pin sharp, but the background isnt great.

... wot you need is the background from the 1st with the bird from the 2nd one

Have to agree with oldgit plus the back of the second bird (what bird is it?) is burnt out and lost the detail. I think the compositions are fine though
