This is really nice. IQ is excellent and it shows the feather details and crest beautifully.
I love the windswept look and the great light and mottled BG.
This image will elicit many comments re: crop as there are so many nice options.
Personally I would take a bit off the top.

Beautiful bird and BG! Details look great and a good light angle that gave you nice texture to the feathers. The eye looks very cool. Yes to taking some off the top (and right to retain ratio).

Great light and I love the details of the bird. Again as has already been said I would crop some off the top and a little in front to make it a little more intimate.

Very beautiful secretary! :)
Nice light and l like the sharp eye and the smooth BG. If mine, I would crop tighter to increase the impact given by the eye and bird's face.

Nice one, Andre! One of my favourite birds to watch on the ground as they scan their environment step by step, totally locked up in their own world. Lovely clarity, sharpness & BG! 
The others said it all re. taking a bit off on the top & right.

Very cool birds would love to photograph just one. I find there is a bit to much above like tohers have said.

Hi Andre, love the IQ and light in this, and you have captured excellent detail. Killer BG too.
There are two of these secretary birds in a local nature reserve close to where I live, but the grasslands are vast, so I dont always get to see them.
