I did think about it but honestly I like it with the wider fov showing the bird in context of the environment. The lens used also doesn't really have the resolution to support much cropping even if i wanted to, it's just a 40 quid 500mm f8 that I picked up on ebay.

That's a great picture. I think it would be even better cropped to just the head and upper neck. The body looks unusual with the current crop to me
