It must be stuffed. There's no other way to get such a good picture.

It was a lucky shot indeed.
What you see is a crop of the original.
I'll never sell that lens !

I much prefer the full image compared to the first posted cropped image.

The full image appears sharper, with better overall context showing the bird in flight, and in my opinion is a better composition. Also showcases the photographer`s skill. BIF pics are not easy.

One of the best we have seen to POW entries. Again just my not so modest opinion!

And what lens is that?

I also prefer the whole bird to half a bird.

Agreed an excellent lens. However the 7D11's beefed up image tracking and improved autofocus also deserves some credit, as does the photographer's skill. The bird's eye is razor sharp.

Thank you, thank you - I am not worthy. (False modesty)

Static subjects, even if the can bite, are far easier then Birds in Flight.
