See what I mean focus on bird near camera is slightly soft. Hand held at 1/640 sec lens at full 560mm this pix is about 50% of full frame.

Weather was cloudy bright so less contrast and Avocets white perhaps not helpful for auto focus also the lens is f4.5-5.5 max f no. May be by paying all the extra for a long lens with f2.8 auto focus would be helped a bit more and give more sharp pixs. No complaints on sharpness of this lens when it hits the mark. But I am new to long lens bird photography and as some of you have said: not easy.

Also I know I needed a faster shutter speed for this shot but no time to do so as the 2nd bird took off without telling me!
