With the exception of the recent woodland birds photos, I am normally having to rely on bird 'watching' public hides (RSPB/Wildlife Trust etc) which are geared more for people with binoculars and scopes than meagre length lenses. So typically I am more often 10-15m away, fighting with a dozen other people for the best spot and being frustrated with the disturbing noise they make!! There's a lot more serendipity about these sort of photography situations. As a result the final images are less controlled or predictable.
That's my misfortune and it doesn't matter in the context of this thread.
But what it means is that the amount of cropping I need to do (given we have similar equipment, lighting etc) and computer processing ....are potentially going to be greater and the side effects of that (less sharp, more noise) inescapable.
What I am trying to say, in a rambling sort of way, is that I agree I'm probably thinking too much about noise because the real bonus will come from putting effort into finding better locations and improving field craft such that the subjects need less cropping and hence benefit from less amplification of side effects.
