Tawny Frogmouth camouflage

We had a 30+ temperature yesterday and these three weren't in their favourite roost tree, but they were back again today and you had to look carefully to see them from some angles.

Lovely shotsyes Am I right in thinking that there are three?

Very nice shots ... you are right about the camouflage,  im sure i have walked right past a few, because they are so still and blend into the tree

Yes Elsie, there are three birds which I must confess I didn't realise until I got back home and looked at the photos. I went back the next day to shoot these shots - they looked fantastic and I'm glad I spotted them. Here's another shot of just one bird, well two actually but you can only see the back of one.

I think there's three birds... But then that could be just three very well camouflaged sticks...

Great photos, especially the last one with the really wide eyes; love it! I always find bird's eyes fascinating.

Thanks Lachlan. I'm just back from holidays, so please excuse my tardiness in replying. I must get down to the site and see if they are still around.
