Love em Ed,very nice shots mate,I really like 3,4 & 5.
Well done.
No wonder I have never seen a Frogmouth ed - I have never seen a better photograph of the camouflage.
Great stuff.
Love the Spectacled Monarch - another bird I have never seen!
I luv 'em all, ed. The Monarch is such a stunner. Your garden bird list must be a ripper. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Another great series from your garden Ed! I still hear my spectacled monarch over the neighbours way but they don't seem to venture my way these days. I have very territorial figbirds and noisies so I think maybe they have scared him off.
Wow you have got to admire that camouflage on the tawny huh?
