I was about 20 feet away but I did crop the image to make the bird more prominant, starlings are quite small so some cropping was necessary. If possible I will get everything correct in camera but sometimes it is just not possible depending on how powerful the zoom is.

This of course is not an excuse to make a poor composition, it is important to think about the composition even if you are anticipating where the subject is going to be of course when dealing with birds you need to be quick allowing focus time etc which you can again speed up by focussing based on where you think the subject will be whether you choose to use auto or manual focus.
