If you find the colours such as in picture 1 and 4 don't look quite right
why not try converting them to black and white. You can often "save" a picture you may have thought about scrapping.
Changing to B/W is something so often overlooked . You can still make this even better, I have, but leave you to have a play with it
Hope you don't mind

Of course i don't mind Bazza, Thank you for your input, i really like the sparrow in B/W, it's something that i haven't give much thought to and i think your right about overlooking some images because of the colour

Nice set there The main thing about bird photography is getting to know the subjects - so watching, enjoying and learning to understand them can do wonders for the shots you get 
Well done on these.
