Looks pretty decent to me
I bought one of these Tokina 400mm lenses - shame it was full of fungus when it arrived - that said it performed ok even with fungus, before being returned to the seller for a refund.
I have the Tokina 300mm mf lens and that works pretty well.
Its a shame the bird was not looking slightly more to it's right as the light would have fallen more favourably on it's left eye.
Cheers

I agree MF on moving Girds is tough
With MF it is best to pre-focus on a spot (at f8 to f11 if the light permits) and move your feet a small amount as required to pull the bird into focus, take multiple shots. Not cropping too close can also improve perceived sharpness.
