Thanks Alan,I appreciate that information, and I think a few other people who have never seen one either would do too.
great pic as they are usually secretative; I can not see the white nuptial plumes, did you see them?

What are white nuptial plumes?
During breeding the back of the head bears three "white nuptial plumes"
He had just had a haircut. They'll grow back.
The first pic was tahen tithe a 300mm f/2.8 - no plumes visible.
Note the difference when a 400mm f/2.8 (below)
400mm f/2.8
I wish
What a nice bird. Did it wait for you to change lenses? Or are you a guy that has more than one camera hanging around his neck? Third option, you have a slave (called partner), who carries your gear
