Shame Davey, they're just not sharp. Where you went wrong was selecting Aperture Priority. With a 300mm lens at full zoom and a 2X teleconverter, that's effectively a 600mm lens, which needs a safe minimum hand holding speed of 1/600th of a second!!
Shutter speed has to be your absolutely first consideration, so you set the required shutter speed and let the camera worry about the aperture, in other words, set Shutter Priority or TV as Canon like to call it.
A tripod only helps to kill your own/camera movement and isn't necessarily a help if the subject is moving.
