Were you using a tripod?
By the way, I have taken the plunge and, and I am now the proud owner of a nikon 500mm f5,6 PF ED VR etc. I took a few shots from the hip as it were, mainly handheld, but a couple resting of the rail of the verandah railing.

I played around with the various buzzers and bells in NX Studio, but technically it's not a masterpiece. I included this because I was concentrating on the pigeon, trying to get the eye sharp, and I completely missed the finchrange about 35m maybe more.

This one's closer, about 11m. Shame about the leaf.
What’s a tripod?
It was taken in a hide so just sort of rested on the hatch windowsill?
There’s no point in having VR switched on if you are using a tripod….it works counterproductively.
