Light Speed 2

I set up the camera and remote release in the birdie tree today and managed to get a total of 1 picture before it rained. So here is a blurred Great Tit. I still don't understand how they can move so quickly and have Speculated in the past that they may have reactions faster than the speed of light. I estimate the blur around his head is about 1cm so if he moved 1cm in 1/200th of a second, then if my maths is correct he was going 720,000 cm per hour, which is 7.2KPH, I wish my car could do that a fraction of a second after a standing start. I don't think Einstein took small birds into account when he did the theory of relativity.
