We have been getting some nice rain in the last week or so. I decided to take the opportunity to take aphotos of a Lilly blossoming on our little Dam at the front of our house.
and while I am head down through the viewfinder, whom do I hear ? The Tawny in the tree way above me call out
but more suprising, I heard his mate on the other side of the Dam reply back !
awesome shots
as a young bloke these birds calling at nite used to frighten the ??? out of one.
beautiful bird.
thats an amazing lily shot ... looks a bit supernatural with the glowing centre.
Do you think the tawny frogmouth is on a nest there?
Yes. He's on the nest (well my bird book says the males sit on the eggs), been there for some time.
We were worried as we had a small hail storm a couple days back but he's still there. Must be due to hatch soon. I posted a couple photo's a couple weeks ago of the same Tawny on the same nest.
Well, I spoted him this morning on the baby. Geeze, what a big baby ! I must remember to look up how many they have !
Yep sure is big baby ... and it looks like a very proud parent too
