Field Notes

Description:

Tawny Frogmouths hunt at night and spend the day roosting on a dead log or tree branch close to the tree trunk. Their camouflage is excellent staying very still and upright, they look just like part of the branch

They are curious looking things,

A very contented looking pair. Fabulous birds even if a bit weird. They always have such confidence in their camouflage.
