I would say you've turned a mundane lack lustre snapshot into a useable photograph, and no, I don't think you've gone to far in this instance. If you were doctoring the image to make it appear as if it was taken somewhere where it would be a twitchers tick, (which does happen in the tickers fraternity from time to time), then yes it would be unethical and a step too far. Bird photographers wouldn't normally take a photo of a bird with so much clutter around it unless it was some sought after rarity or a particularly desirable species, however, if they did then I'm sure they would be pleased with the result you've obtained.
