You've done well! I've been trying to photograph a couple of sea eagles that circle around here but I've never managed to get a satisfactory exposure. That 300mm f4.0 plus 1.7x Adapter looks to be a good combination. Pity the adapters are so bloody expensive!
I agree with Bob that the images look a little over-sharpened.
