Very kind… 90% of my shots are from hides in various RSPB’s across the Somerset Levels.
I’ve not quite reached the ghillie suit level yet. 
Thanks Rich. I wish I could say it was planned but I took a burst shot of the crow and this one just happened to be the best composition. What can I say about the pigeon? Just a TART!! lol
Thank you Steve. The puffins and the shags were taken in the Farne Isles. Definitely worth a trip across if you are up that way.
Here are a few more. Not exciting but birds notheless.
Starling & Pigeon
Blackbird
Chaffinch

I tend to use DeNoise AI nowadays, but this is an older shot, edited before I started to use it. Have you tried the Topaz Sharpen too? It is amazing.
Yes, this one was taken in mid-Wales.

Just got that and only ran a few through it. Not been impressed yet I have to say. 
I’ve heard amazing things though.
Out of curiosity what order do you use them all?
Raw straight into DeNoise then into Lightroom is my routine atm.

It’s hit and miss. I have found it to work as well for denoising too. I have had a few successful outputs, but it’s not as good as DeNoise. GigaPixel AI is pretty good too - but it’s not an Adobe plugin, like DeNoise and Sharpen AI. I’ve used it a lot and it works well.

I’m glad it’s not just me, I put it down to the photos that I was working on. I will keep playing with it though.

I have found it works really well on images that are a bit soft due to camera movement. This have definitely saved some images that would have been binned.
I have pretty much stopped using LR atm. My general workflow is to pull into PS (ACR), make the adjustments and use Sharpen or DeNoise from within PS. I have occassionally used DxO PureRAW as well, but I have not come to a decision on that yet, although I have read good things.

Recently bought myself a decent camera (Sony A6600), so practice shots more than anything. Straight out of camera jpegs, not played with the RAWs yet…

Not exciting? 
As a devoted twitcher, I never find even the commonest of bird (Gulls in our area - locally referred to as S#ite hawks) fascinating to watch…
