A superb portrait Stanley. The bird calls to mind Grey Wagtail (grey, bright yellow on part of the underparts, white tail sides) but the shape and character are so different. I like this as a composition too: conventions say it's better to have a bird looking into the empty space than looking out of it, but where you've placed the bird here simply works.
