Going through the images later I found many sharp and otherwise 'OK' images were spoiled by pose, wing positions and heads pointing the wrong way etc. That all changes in a second, so one image may be rubbish, the next a winner. It would be very difficult to time these events by eye, they happen so fast and at some distance, often while panning. Getting the bird in frame is a challenge, let alone choosing a pose!
That said, I don't think the difference between 5 frames a second and 11 frames a second would up the keeper rate much because a burst of images either 'has it' or not. One extra image between two would not make that much difference most of the time.
On a practical note the difference in cost between a 5 fps body and an 11 fps body is considerable for only one extra frame between two. Better use movie mode and extract a frame! That would give you 30 fps and silent. The Canons would think you gone to sleep!
