I frequently get photos I personally find satisfying at ISO 6400. Of course you have to forget about cropping, but if the bird fills the frame, good denoising + downsampling produces good results. At the BirdForum 1024 pixel limit, a lot of noise goes away :)
 
Nice! Never thought ISO 6400 would produce such good pictures. Most reviews say don’t go beyond ISO 3200. On my EM5 Mk1, in very murky territory after ISO 2000 so I usually stay below that.

Haven't done much high iso with my Olympus EM10MK11 but here is one at 3200

One thing to bear in mind: I find the out of camera jpgs worthless at 6400, it should only be RAW used at that sensitivity.

Edit: maybe I could tweak the built in jpg generator, but I like using raw so have not tried.

Good for you. You commented on my White-headed Wren image: that one was taken using iso 5000

Actually I prefer your image to the one currently in opus since it shows the typical wren stance (cocked tail etc.) and decurved bill much better.

Thanks. Given that these two images are different subspecies there might be room for both.
