I can see Eric's point about habitat but once you seen one rock, you seen them all!
I think there is room for a fine detail image, particularly when the bird is well situated on the focal plane, allowing very fine detail to be seen pretty well all over the bird. These would be superb images in a bird recognition book.
I prefer the first example...
Believe it or not, many successful wildlife photographers subscribe to the view that the birds or creatures should be only 1/3 of the frame. When it comes to bird identification then a full frame ('postage stamp' shot I understand they are called) is obviously more of an advantage but I like plenty of space round my birds. Which also saves me having to buy an 800mm lens.
And anyway I like rocks...they aren't all the same.
