This is my favourite image of this bird, even if it was with a less than perfect camera and lens
Taken in Kruger Bational Park, South Africa, I particularly like the leaf, above the head.

The leaf adds just the right touch of whimsy, although the bird is a fine subject even without it. Excellent!

Sweet portrait of this beauty Ken. Excellent handling of the sunlit background while holding wonderful details in the bird. I like the lea group too.

Nice one Ken. Nothing wrong with the 1DMkIIn - I used one for years

Thanks everybody for your comments, in particular your support for the leaf
I agree with Rob the MkII was a fine camera
