Hello Octavio. Indeed a great wild shot of this magnificent bird. Is this shot recent ? 
Thank you for sharing and informing.

Nice image Octavio. May I ask how high up the platform was and how you got up to it (from a guy who is not crazy about heights!)

Wonderful behavioral shot, Octavio! I'm struck by the large size of the nest. Very well done!

Hi Bob, thank you. The platform was at about 25 meters high and we got up to it on a simple vertical ladder type steps up the tree trunk.
