The light was very poor, so I still do not have the picture I would like of this great bird. This is the best I managed, but it is a target for my next visit to South Africa.

Beautiful bird and great to see its nest, too. You could try to run NR on the BG and sharpen the head of the bird selectively.
Looks like this will have to do until your next good opportunity. It does indeed look like a great bird, and the nest seems to be quite something! Is this a heavy crop? Looks like some work was done in LLC as the "noise" has a dramatic change in look near the bird's head.
