Sardinian Warbler.

That's a corker. I've never had one stay still long enough for a decent photo - not that I've often had the chance to get near one either.

Try upping the shutter speed - to around 1/600 s at least.

I am, by no means, and expert at anything related to photography. But, you should try to have your shutter speed at or above your zoom length with long lenses. Notice, I said "try" not "have to..." Yes, IS helps but not if the subject is moving... Only if YOU are moving...
