I guess either you have used digital zoom or you have cropped the image, so the quality has deteriorated. The head turn and eye contact is nice. Thanks for sharing.

The perch and the eye contact is nice. Agree there is lot of noise and loss of details. It will be good if you do not use digital zoom as that only induces more noise. I agree it can be difficult to photograph small birds if they are at distance, but there are ways in which you can approach birds slowly (crawling) to get closer to them or try to sit at one spot for sometime covering yourself. Thanks for sharing.
