Nesting ?
Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) male
When I checked on the Tawnies after school yesterday both male and female were perched on a branch and I remarked to one of the other parents that she looked as though she was carrying egg(s). This morning the male was on the nest and at one stage carefully changed position. The male usually sits on the nest during the day. I am fairly confident there are egg(s). Sadly they did lose a chick in the windstorm a fortnight ago. I am sure you will see more of them in coming weeks, hopefully the young as well.
