Yep :)

But then again the subject was very very very close. A lot closer than it has ever been. It was perched in a tree < 3-4M away.

Ive never seen one in RL or even in a picture which gives an idea of scale. How big are they?? Must have been an experience to have been up so close to one.

They're about 40-50cm tall, probably have a wingspan of about 100cm to 130cm (roughly, book doesn't say but given similar birds wing span).
