This bird is adorable. The position of the bird relative to the viewer feels a bit awkward to me, nevertheless, it fits the challenge title you've selected perfectly.
Great combination of sharp detail, motion blur, and compatible bokeh. I'd like to see what it would look like with the bird on the right, flying into the frame, though flying out probably fits the title/theme better.
The photo feels like it ends abruptly. If there were more space on the left side of the photo, it would have helped to give the impression that the bird has space to travel.
