The zitting cisticola or streaked fantail warbler (Cisticola juncidis), is widely distributed Old World warbler whose breeding range includes southern Europe, Africa (outside the deserts and rainforest), and southern Asia down to northern Australia. A small bird found mainly in grasslands, it is best identified by its rufous rump, lacks any gold on the collar and the brownish tail is tipped with white. During the breeding season, males have a zigzagging flight display accompanied by regular "zitting" calls that has been likened to repeated snips of a scissor. They build their pouch nest suspended within a clump of grass.

I like this a lot, makes a change from seeing birds at point blank and yes it would look lovely printed LARGE!
 
I'd like to see another interpretation Paolo .......with the birds more over to the left

I know that it is not possible as the image is not cropped, but I find the composition a little awkward with the bird in that position

In general I find shots like that very attractive - maybe you could go back and take another shot!!!
 
Beautiful shot id hang that on the wall at graceland anytime
