Is it me or are the noise levels ok on this pic.

the picture has been taken with a canon IDMKIV

1/1000sec
manuel
ap.val.6.3

ISO 500

focal length 300mm

The amount of noise seems high for this camera

What do you think..

For a camera of that quality I think it's very noisy, my old Canon 450D crop camera isn't as noisy as that & it's sharper. Is this a 100% crop?

You're expecting way, way too much from the camera. That's a gigantic crop and the resulting image quality, i.e. noise, sharpness, detail, etc. etc will look absolutely terrible as a result, on any camera.
For the best image quality try and compose the image before pressing the shutter button, rather than relying on the crop tool in Photoshop.

the best detail and sharpness and noise reduction comes from an image that is taken with no or very limited crop, you are asking way too much from your camera as stated above, either get in closer, much closer or buy a better lens that will reach the subject.

That's a savage crop,you are expecting too much when cropping to this extent.

That is indeed a savage crop of the original image.... I crop my images fairly tightly.... but not to that extent....
If you don't want to go to a longer lens than your 300mm f2.8, try a 1.4x converter.... or as Ian says try and get closer to your subject...

Quote: That lens works great with canon's 2x extender you need one , then process in DPP

I've yet to try the 2x MKIII converter on my 300mm f2.8 IS II Colin.... but its in the bag ready
