Sometimes you've just gotta crop until the picture looks right :) Just an observation - your ISO at 800 on a 600D produces quite a  lot of noise (I know first hand) with your shutter at 1/800 and at F/1.8 I believe you may have had sharper results at ISO 200 Shutter 1/250 or 1/80 (or there abouts) and F/1.8.  That should still be fast enough to catch this fella with no motion blur. Of course some experimentation is crucial! But as a general rule of thumb I've noticed in wildlife photography is lower ISO is the goal and work all other settings to make it work. (unless low-light conditions don't permit such things of course, then you just work with what you have! :)

I usually don't mention anything about this sort of stuff - because I don't like to tell other photographers how to take their amazing photos and most people take offence to it or get hurt. So I apologize in advance if that's you.
