Yup. But why the sand to the left of the bird? That was my thought too - look at the stick. I also thought that the bird's shoulder is a little sharper than it's head, which fits with a focus problem. But it looks as though Roy is shooting through a coke bottle, not a Canon L.
Maybe that's the answer? Roy, do you by any chance have a filter on the 400? (To protect the lens from scratches?) If so, what happens when you take the filter off? Your bird reminds me of the weird and horrible results I got when I bought a set of cheap Hoya closeup lenses as a poor man's macro rig. Used them once, never touched them since.
