I'm sure lenses improve with use and time
The plant looks like an Acacia - what is the bird? You might have capturd an additional element - a flying insect to our left of the bird's head?
i-Berg, the bird is a Masked Weaver and it built it's nest in an Australian Tree Fern. These birds strip away any leaves in the vicinity of their nests, leaving only bare branches. The bee was extra, no charge.

Here is one of the pics taken this morning before the rain. Monopod, 250mm ISO 800, f14. This is a crop of about 50% of the full picture. I have done everything I can in Lightroom and Elements to make it look as good as possinle.
