You are good. Just got one shot and it turned out sharp.

I preferred #2. Very nice foreground and background. But it can be improved if the bird is more parallel to your sensor, more of the bird will be in focus.

Cheers.

Oh. Didnt know you used an aperture of f/5. I was told by some expert birder to use f/8 to f/11. Anyway, this is just a guide.

Hi thanks, if u are confident u dont need to follw the F8- F11 etc. U should know when to use small or big aperture , depends on individual and the type of situation u are in. I was handholding and i needed a larger hole for faster speed to prevent handshake. For the action shot i needed a larger hole because i needed the much faster speed
