Oh, goooood, this is something, that rarely gets done with charcoal and it's really beautiful.
It's a funny medium - hard at first, but then its gets you the possibilities you wouldn't have with pencil. I don't know which kind of charcoal you have used - the softer, perhaps? It gets really nice values quickly, can get strong and dynamic lines, but also be very delicate. Remember doing some bird studies with it - amazing effects with black feathers :)
