Fantastic shot of a male in full flare! I bet it was also singing at the time.

2 very nice images, here is what I do for small birds: f:8 or even f:5.6, iso: 1600, that will give you shutter speeds of at least 1/2000 and that will improve overall sharpness a lot.

You are right about shutter speed being critical in making sharper images . Since this and too many other photos I have since caught on . Thanks for sending sir .

Yes it is true that a monkey can write Shakespeare with enough time and effort .
