Excellent! That's a beautiful bird and the framing with the flowers works really well here. I wish there was a bit more detail in the bird's plumage but black birds are a bugger to photograph. I was going though my archives on the weekend looking for something to post and came across a Black Oystercatcher on a beach. Similar situation - there just wasn't any detail in the feathers.
