What did you do different with pic 3 that makes it so crisp? Nice to see that the pairing is capable of sharp shots given the right conditions!

If you have a UV filter on the 100-400 take it off, not sure why but there seems to be issues using UV filters on a lot of 100-400s and it causing problems. Suggest you try the same subject with and without a filter and see if your particular 100-400 is affected..

Here are some examples taken on the same day at the same location with the same camera & 100-400 First image with the UV Filter on Second without it
