Lovely bird, and well captured, but just a couple of comments.
It's a little too 'high key' for me, but that might have been your intention?
Also, the little black dot at about 4 o'clock from the birds head is a bit distracting. Not sure what it is, some kind of insect I presume? (I had to check it wasn't some dirt on my monitor!)
Lovely creature to have seen though, I've never got anywhere near enough to one!
What is bad about that dot is that now that I know it is there, the bird appears to be looking at it! I have been trying for this shot myself for some while, and know how hard it is to get. I think you still need a little more sharpness if possible, and it would be good to do something about that sky behind. Even so, far, far better than anything I have managed yet.
