Nice! I really like the color saturations.. The brick wall at an angle leads the eye to the blackbird, and the foliage keeps your eye from wandering past it. Plus, the foliage adds that secret feeling like the viewer is peeking in on the bird.

Really nice focus. Handheld or tripod?

My only complaint would be the bokeh is a little distracting. The line coming from the birds beak wants so pull my eye away from the bird itself.

Looking at it again, if that same line was somewhere other than coming out of the birds head I don't think it would be an issue. You could maybe get rid of it or blur it out even more with PS.
