These are very good. From experience, I know just how quick these blighters can be, so you have done well.

Noise doesn't look to bad to me Phil 
I like the last one a lot in particular, though they are all good. I do wish I could afford some very nice glass for bird stuff, it's still one of my favourite things to do, and the Bigma is just lacking in the edge on quality. Still, one day!
Keep posting birds Phil - you know how much I love seeing them!

Those are beautiful Phil. I like the angles of many of your Bird shots.

Very good shots Phil especially 3, 4 and 5. Good framing which could be improved (as could some of mine) e.g I think I would have prefered #1 as landscape orientation since he is looking directly to the right. Where he had been looking toward you or a little to the left/right then that would have suited the portrait crop better IMO.
Apart from the above nitpicking, Lovely smooth background, good exposure, nice perch and all with catchlights, great shots
