At first glance, I preferred the second one, but the longer I looked, the more I appreciated the stately look of the first, so I’m going with number one.

Yes #2 but both are really nice. Show more when you can. Thanks

Both are excellent but #2 shows more, such as underside of wing, and implies the bird’s power.

Going against the grain here but #1 is a better image. Although it has great action, #2 has a very distracting background which detracts from the image. On both, the birds are in the center of the frame. Composition wise, it would be improved by using the rule of thirds and placing the birds in the 3rd left side of the frame. You want space to show where the birds are looking/flying to. In fact, you can crop #1 and have the bird more to the left and also shrink the top and bottom of the image. I tried it on your image and I think it works much better.

#1 is the better photograph. The background is less confusing to the eye.
#2 is a clever action shot, but the background is a big spoiler.
I am not a birder, but enjoy bird shots.

That shows to go ya. Everyone is different.
I think the bokeh in the first is too overpowering.
