Do we have any keen photographers amongst us?
Photography is my primary hobby, and it blends nicely with our travels.
I like most genre of photography, with a particular liking for wildlife, and currently 'shoot' with a Canon EOS 5D MklV, and a series of Canon L lenses.
I also run an online community for amateur photographers in Suffolk, Norfolk, and Essex, and have a website where I post many of my photos.

This image is good to show how 2 pics from one image can give good results.
Pic 1 The one you have cropped is probably a little to tight, try to align the eye of the tight crop at about 1/3 from the edge and allow a little more background behind the head.
Pic 2 From the original image, crop from just to the left of the tree the bird is hanging onto then again place the bird 1/3 from the left of the resulting crop the photoshop grid will help.
See what you think.
By the way, the eye in the other image is sharp, so your kit is giving good results on stationary birds.

One tip....the more you try...the luckier you get!
The times I have sat and waited, given up and turned round and walked into something special.
Nothing wrong with the Sparrow hawk, I'd be very pleased with it.
At present staking out local Barn owl, each PM he comes and puts on a show....lovely.
