The K20 isn't _that_ bad at 800 ISO. Mine sure isn't. That noise looks like a background of Ramen noodles. Did you shoot straight to JPEG? Pull the exposure up in post a whole bunch? Is it a majorly serious crop?
You should really try Nik Dfine on stuff like this. Works quite well at removing stubborn noise. Nonetheless, a beautiful bird, Ken.
