CommentMeet 'Pretender'. He is believed to be 10-12 years old and the alpha male in the eastern part of the forest. His most important work for the breeding season is finished. Most of the mature females in his domain have laid their egg and the first chick hatched at the beginning of August. That does not stop him putting on a show for immature birds and passing paparazzi.
