Stunning catch! I'm puzzled, because the lighting suggests a little fill flash, but the motion suggests against. Sure, there is a slightly sharper core image inside the blur. It doesn't seem sharp enough for flash, unless these fellas have ver-r-r-y fast wing-beats. There's no exposure details to tell me which, and I'm curious to know.
