This looked better on my computer screen, disappointed with the camera shake. I really struggle with taking hand held pictures and suffer from a lot of camera shake, then when using a tripod i lose the mobility oh the dilemas and frustration!!

Try a monopod.
Slik Pro (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slik-SL-8PRO...1181999&sr=8-7) helped me with the same problem.
Also try to use a shutter speed higher than the lens length so that maybe, for example, a 1/1000th of a sec for this picture because of the 300 + 2.0 ext. Shutter priority would let the aperture take care of itself.
Lovely little bird tho'. Good luck with the shakes.

I am no expert but for what it's worth..........I never ever take a bird picture without a tripod. I always try for the highest shutter speed obtainable, anything less than 250 is going to have lens blur to some extent, then if you use a high ISO to achieve a higher shutter speed then you are going to get a noisy image. It ain't easy! If it were then there would be no fun......... for me absolutely the most important factor is a good bright light. Be prepared to discard 90% of your photos.
