Just checked the EXIF and found that shot was made at ISO 1600. I don't find the noise intolerable at all! Nice work K01.
There's a number of cool things going on with your photo.
I agree that ISO 1600 is handled well - that 16MP sensor has really stood the test of time. But also the fact that Woody slowed down enough for a 1/250s shutter to be sufficient is pretty cool... as is the fact that you were able to focus a 600mm lens in just a few of seconds with focus peaking! I've done a lot of 200mm and 300mm shots with my own K-01 + Hoodman Loupe knock-off, but 600mm is insane!
Here's my own ISO 1600 wildlife shot, an adorable deer family who wandered into the field next to my home one evening. K-01 + Tak 200/4...
