Thanks for the info, I didn't know, well then i still need to find an owl on my adventures! Lol, I got a coffee in a small town and looked up and there he was! In broad daylight! Totally blew me away!

Good spotting! Frogmouths aren't actually owls, and are related to Nightjar family. Here's a good link with some info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawny_Frogmouth They are awesome birds and I love it when they come to visit, just like they have for you :-)
