The above examples are heavy crops so poor quality but before they get binned they taught me the lesson to pay attention not only to the birds body position and movement but where the light falls on the key area it's eye. Whilst the pose is better in the second one...the eye is going to be dead being in the shadow.
Apologies if this sounds a bit like teaching granny to suck eggs to you experts, but I'm on a new learning curve or perhaps remembering things long forgotten...and sharing my journey may be of interest to others.
Also....take a look at the boketh out of focus reeds way behind the birds. They show the scintered fragmented look I was mentioning with this lens....it gives a more distracting effect than good old plain fuzz.
