No, no extra NR at all. I DID shoot at +2EV to avoid underexposing the bird. The clouds were really brightly reflecting on the water and the sun was behind the bird. Also, because it's hand held, I need a fast SS. Hence the high ISO.

Anyway, the key is not to underexpose at high ISO. That applies to the 7D and even my 5D MkII. I DO use ISO 1600 as my general upper limit with the 7D. With the 5D2 I occasionally go up to ISO 6400. Also, I was helped by the light BG.
