Nice crispy image, but in my opinion, cluttered background has taken away the beauty of the bird.

Sony alpha 7RIV with Sony FE 200-600 mm

f6.3, 600 mm, 1/1250s, ISO 200, ev – 0.3

I captured this image during cloudy afternoon. I kept iso minimum to have clarity of subject due to less noise and ensured not to drop shutter speed below 1/1250s as there was possibility of some action.

Sir, I wanted to cut the light to keep exposure on darker side and also to have good DoF so kept high f number. Are my camera settings wrong?

Also, my WB was manual 10000k, which I forget to mention above.
