"What are you up to behind my back??"
Please view Large
This tawny frogmouth and its mate are currently regular visitors to a jacaranda tree within our retirement village. Some days we can watch both, some days only one and some days they clearly spend somewhere else :)
They seem to be quite relaxed about the human interest by us residents going for our exercise walks but this one kept a close eye on me as I moved to the back of the tree for a different POV.
From the Australian Museum website: With their nocturnal habit and owl-like appearance, Tawny Frogmouths are often confused with owls, but are actually more closely related to the nightjars. Their feet are weak however, and lack the curved talons of owls.
