No problem at all
I wouldn't be overly worried about getting an external noise filter immediately, as long as you manage to take your shots on a low'ish ISO then you shouldn't need one as a priority. The main thing to remember here is that you will need to use sharpening filters when using RAW. In my mind you were doing everything else correctly and just not processing properly.
At this stage I wouldn't even be too worried about the cable release. Listen to the advice of people like CT notworthy firm tripod and holding your lens steady. In my mind you need to be holding the body so you can focus on the eye of the subject and recompose before taking the shot. Others may disagree with this but it works for me as the eye is the important part of the subject in wildlife shots.
