I thought about cropping this some other way to put the bird off-center, but none of them looked right... Placing it dead center made me feel like I had caught it doing something that it didn't want me to see...
Peter, I find it difficult to give you positive feedback on this, so I hope constructive critisism may help.
Grey bird on grey background, I'm left looking for something unusual to draw my eye - action, pose, viewpoint, texture, colour. I'm sorry I can't see any of these.
Perhaps a lower angle, or actually catching it doing whatever it is it didn't want you to see :-)
