This is a good capture Nevil. You've controlled the whites in harsh light very well and as Andre said, love the look you're getting.

A spectacular shot, thanks for sharing.
The detail and colouration in the beak and head area has me fascinated.

Nice work Neville, you've got good eye contact with this bird.  Looks like it needs to be seen larger to get the head detail.
