Sami, a fast shutter speed helps, but the 400mm 5.6 is a great birding lens. It's fairly light to carry and well balanced. It took a bit of practice though. At first I did struggle without image stabilization.

I have it on some lenses (like my 100-400 zoom), and it can make a big difference but the long prime lenses with IS are so expensive.
