Tawney Frogmouths It was a real thrill this morning to find the pair of Tawney Frogmouths sitting contentedly in the fork of a gumtree north of the house.A friend came and took some photos and was delighted to see how well camouflaged they are, the feathers looking so much like bark.I think they look very aboriginal with their deepset eyes half closed against the sun.They hold their heads in this aloof manner pretending you are not there looking at them. It was a warm day today but we did get a bit of a shower late afternoon.The roses are flowering so well they are a real pleasure.
