If you had stopped down you could have lowered the ISO significantly. Why are all the shots at ƒ8.0+ when the lens is perfectly sharp at ƒ4.0?

If he had opened up. And f/4 has too shallow a depth of field for closeups of small birds if you want to get them entirely in focus. I've learned this with my own experience on the 300 after just a few images.
