Check out Faisca Sparky's gallery on Birdforum to see what can be done in the bright light of Portugal with a 350D and Zeiss85/camera adaptor.
I took about 100 shots of Lesser Spotted Woodpecker last year with an angled Leica/photo adaptor and Canon 20D and none of them was up to much! Admittedly it was not an ideal situation and, as mentioned by postcardcv above, my tripod head could have done with being a bit more substantial, but I thought at least one or two would have been OK. There was also some noticeable blue fringing around the areas of black against white in the bird's plumage.
The Leica adaptor screws around the outside of the eyepiece mount via a very fine thread which has to be lined-up perfectly to engage and can be a bit of a nuisance, especially in very cold weather.
