Tawny Frogmouth

I walked away with a smile after seeing this guy dozing in Hidden Valley NP yesterday. It was the first time I'd seen a Tawny since I was about 12 years old and to get such a clear view was awesome. Made my day.

Very Nice. Strange looking bird and looks so comfortable.

Cheers

Great sighting and pics 

You seem to have been on eye level with him taking those photos - was he perched near the ground?

Cheers guys. Yeah lucky for me he was only about 2m off the ground and sitting on a very exposed branch. I guess when you're that well camouflaged you dont need to hide away so much.

Looks like he's having trouble staying awake. Amazing camouflage.

Oh wow, you were so lucky indeed KingBrown.  Would have made my day too, to be able to see him so closely, and to get such fantastic day-time shots! yes
