To exemplify on apertures as I advised you on your last post, here staying at 1600 ISO with f/8 and 1/1600 probably avoided burning the whites and you would have had a better result.
On light subjects - white herons and cattle egrets, egrets, seagulls... - it is always advisable to underexpose a little, even with spot metering (which I recommend). Also 1 stop.
On the composition: unlike dear Gion, I find it wrong; it is good practice to leave space in the direction in which he looks at the subject.
Then it can be subjective.

With those ISO and f/8 that you recommend, the photo would have come out all black. Since I was at 1/3200 as times .. :-/ :-(

I had tried to lower the ISO, but I couldn't see anything anymore. Every time I go out to do birdlife I have to start from 6400 iso to go up, otherwise you can't see a pipe. :-( also because I rightly use very fast times...

In my opinion it was not dark: here the plumage has burned at least one stop.
If you think about 3200 use with 1/1600 you are just half of your data, with the same amount of light.
1600 ISO one stop less.
F/8 instead of f/6.3 and me or one stop.
In my opinion, it would have been more correct.
At the very least, you did a targeted PP on the subject with an all-black background.

Subjects such as Herons are not very fast: in these static situations you can use slower shutter speeds.
It's different if they're hunting.

You see the burnt white just because I exaggerated in the post.. since even at 6400 iso the photo was not so bright.
I don't know what to say/do.
Maybe there is some wrong setting that makes everything darker for me, I don't know! The light meter is always in the center. And if I move it to the right or left, nothing changes.

Maybe you make a mistake in the post, maybe you wanted to lighten the background, but in that case you would have raised the shadows, not the exposure.
Or go photographing in dark places.
This is the classic photo where you blacken the background and give the right light to the subject.
I've also shot at 10,000, with a similar sensor; but that's not the norm.
I rarely go above 3200.
However, if you overexpose or underexpose you should see the difference.
Of course, not on 1/3 stop.

Relatively dark places. In the sense that even in bright places and days if I go out to do birdlife I must necessarily start from 6400 iso upwards. Because I use fast shutter speeds to avoid microblur at long focal lengths.
In fact, if you peek into my gallery and look at the latest street or reportage photos, it's another world. In the sense that the parameters and photos are much better than the photos of birdlife I take.

I thank you for your advice and above all for your patience, Mauro.
The problem remains that if I use times like: 1/1250, 1/2000, 1/3000 and similar, the iso must necessarily be shot from 8000 upwards. even more so if I close at F/8, practically everything would be dark. I don't know what to say

1/1250 may be slow, but it collects more than twice as much light as 1/3200.
I don't know what to say, maybe you go to particularly dark places or at times with very little light.

It must also be said that Genoa has not been so sunny lately. :-D
It could be a solution to use the tripod to lower the time a bit, right?
Even if in Genoa finding points for stakeouts is hard :-D

You need a tripod on stationary subjects.
But with slow times, the chances of blur increase.
Then until a reasonable time you shoot quietly freehand.
