By reading only the title in my friends-list, I was prepared for the worse to come. You've fooled me indeed, Jen,lol.
Thanks for another excellent capture of a 'birdie'.
Regards, Cornelius.

Wrong! I am familiar with your subject prefs! I normally do not particularly like bird photos but I must say this is outside the norm... I even wish you had been lucky enough to get all of it. :o) Hey... I now have a 2.8-4.0 lens... I can have a try at shots similar to this... don't know if I'll get it as sharp as you did though! :o)

Edit: 6 hours later...Red Kite in Northern Ireland News
And when I did a search here... I found a Red Kite by Verena! :o)

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

It appears you have included the Kite in your joke WC. A good shot and I like your sense of humor.

Fooled indeed! Not what I was expecting for sure. Very nice, and one to keep.
