OK. I just went out onto the patio and took a few snaps at 400mm of stuff around the area.
Here they are straight from the camera. I haven't touched them, so they're big.

They look better. One other ting is they are much more contrasty for
the focus to lock on. It would be helpful if you could show the focus
point for on of the poorer flamingo shots.

Yup! I would say that having the focus point between two flamingoes misses either one. If you had been shooting at them with a rifle you would have been close, but there would be no hit, just a bewildered look from the flamingoes.
