The 2nd pic of the starling is ok but the others are destined for the bin I think. What lens and settings?

Cleaning the windows would help, or getting off your bum and going outside :tongue2:

 

The last pic would have been nice, but the bird is just too fuzzy. The camera has done well with the exposure though, not easy to get birds against a bright sky.

I think you need a little more speed, 1/200 isn't really fast enough for small birds - they are constantly on the move, plus the speed is less than the focal length of the lens, so that will leave you wide open to camera shake problems. Yes, I know you can handhold pics at 1/20th sec, blah blah blah... :no::no::no: The late sunlight has brought the colours out well.
