Hi Marian,
Nice effort. The reason the shot looks as it does is because of the combination of the slow shutter speed and the use of flash. Essentially , the flash discharges very quickly giving you the sharp head and wings, but the shutter remains open afterwards resulting in the blur to the head and beak (using the ambient light).
The technique I use for these shots is to use a fast shutter speed( in Manual mode) with the flashes set to hi speed sync. The problem with only one flash would be that the background would be dark. A second flash set as a slave allows you to light the background as well.
Hope this helps.

Terrific capture, you've timed this one perfectly
Great, Marian, and have an RC on me, to prove how much we all like this. The wing is beautiful. The bg has areas that I, personally, would have worked on.
Looks good Marian, quite impressive as a capture ... very well timed.

Good catch! Lovely shot!
Could be because of the flash you were able to catch this... Geoff (my Geoff(Richard)) has been telling me to use the flash on action shots, even if it doesn't need the light as it... (and I lost him there... something to do with shutter speeds and light and... something...)
