That lens is working much better for you.
It's always difficult getting birds in flight on dull days. You almost need to lift exposure compensation by +2stops !!
I am sure Jeff won't mind me saying that he rarely takes his wildlife photos in anything but good light....or at least the ones he shows us.
However frustrating and tempting it is sometimes you just have to say "not today". Working commercially outdoors I learnt this lesson the hard way. Your work is always lacklustre when you try to make do with poor available light.
One of the reasons I didn't do wedding!!!!!
