2nd photo is suffering from camera shake. I feel that is the best composed shot however.

1st i have not seen the orginal but seems it has been cropped a fair bit and as you say has ended up quit soft.
Do you have use any filters ie UV or Polariser, as the first seems to be washed out colour wise. possibly a UV filter might have helped, maybe not.

3rd doesn't work because of the sky but you couldn't help that.

King4aDay: that is a lovely shot, even though it's legless and tailess it works as it's not just your normal centred shot. colours of the sunset/rise helping to bring out the robins breast and green (grass/plants/leaves) are spot on.

I think my photos are a combination of camera shake, slightly too much cropping and possibly the lens being soft wide open at F5.6.

I'm gonna try and use my tripod next time, and maybe stop down to F8 if possible. Off to Cornwall this weekend so should give me a good opportunity to test things out! :D
 
They're ok, could do with some tweaking in PhotoShop. I think the Sigma 100-300mm would be a great buy as i have a Sigma 70-300mm and the results are always very sharp. You don't really need a monopod as the lens isnt really that heavy. It will take you some time to be able to get very good bird pictures as someone has said earlier, you have to be super acurate with the focusing :)
