Thanks for your comments Peter.
Sadly it raised its crest only very briefly when it first flew in. To be honest it caught us totally unaware as we were watching Spider Monkeys in the canopy when it first appeared. The tripod was in the vehicle & so this was taken handheld & is the best of a bad bunch!
