Hello, big fella

It has been a pretty long time since I saw this Crested Serpent-eagle perch for long in this taman so I was rather excited when I saw it, for the first time on the other side of the taman.
     I saw it and it saw me so its eyes followed me as I circled below trying to get sharper images in the unfavourable morning light.
     I miss those days when this bird was frequently seen in the taman and would come down to eye level on a branch.  It had even hopped down to the pond looking for prey.  Whatever the reason it is that it is less sighted in the taman, to see it again certainly gave me a high this morning!
