Well it seems that you did a pretty good job - both with the clone tool and with getting the shot itself []
What I'd like to suggest is: selectively sharpen the bird a bit more.

Spot on with the cloning there Brendan. As someone mentioned previously it's nice to be able to get the shot without things in it you don't want but sometimes it's unavoidable.
I have no problem cloning certain parts of an image out if I have to -I think post processing is a big part of the photography process these days and should be taken advantage of it the opportunity exists to enhance an image.
Gimp's a pretty handy tool for the price too [:P]
