Thank you both, I will try again thsi weekend and will re-post hopefully we will see some improvement :)

Brilliant and thank you for the tips. I will definitely try to set-up a perch and take photos of the birds from there. Good spot on the highlight, I didn't event think about that :)

Not patronising at all, this is the type of answer I was after. Thank you. I will try again this weekend and post results :) Thank you.

Sadly I have not cropped the images, these are the best of the set I took, all the birds seemed to land further left :)
