I was shooting some surfers when this bird or eagle flew down to a nearby roof. I tried to get into a new position to leave the tree out of the frame but this would have required me leaning out over a 100 foot cliff so... Also I dont know what species it is. I live in Newport in Sydney if anyone is willing to help.

Cant help with the species but as to the pic the bird is too far away to get any decent detail and there is too much light and shadow and the pic is obviously hand held. You do not say in your write up what focal length was used or what exposures which is useful info if you want good critique. I would imagine that you were zoomed to max in which case try to get nearer next time. (Not always possible I know) and try to use a tripod. The comp in the frame is OK.

I think the above poster has nailed a lot of things. I'd also suggest compositionally that the bird should have been placed towards the right of the frame looking into the picture. As it is the large mass of blue sky behind the bird serves no purpose except to unbalance the image. I think the bottom line is you've probably reached the limit of your equipment here ..

! Then I would suggest a crop off the right to loose the empty sky! I have up loaded a mod for you.
To clone to a straight edge like this first make a selection of the roof area then select inverse and you can then clone away the tree without affecting the roof.
I have then cropped it to remove excess sky and make a better composition.
Hope this helps
