Perhaps the answer is not to bother taking the photo, if this is all the light allows you.
Well, perhaps but this is a superb image, in my opinion at least, it's spectacular and finely detailed, while you are complaining about some aspects, my only complaint is the 'camera shake' effect on the large tree in the background. That I find objectionable, never mind the bird, that's fine, look at the background. I assume it's a 'feature' of the PF lens causing this effect, I never seen this with conventional telephoto's, or never noticed it anyway... I imagine a quick application of a blur brush would fix it.
I think you are all too critical of the minutiae in these images while missing the 'whole picture' occasionally. My eye is drawn instantly to the apparent camera shake on the tree, which it obviously isn't!
As for enlarging it to A4, I just viewed it full width of my 27" iMac, the bird was 14" long from tail to tip of beak and it still looked superb. I guess that's twice to three times life size?
