What had looked like an accidental aggregation of sticks turns out to be a nest for two Tawny Frogmouths in the jacaranda tree just a metre or two outside my upstairs window - make that Frogmouth Vieiwing Platform. Two of these camouflaged charmers take turns to sit, maybe puff up a bit, deliver lugubrious side-eyes, and sleep. Watching Frogmouths sit still proves to wonderfully dynamic, at one point the larger parent bird did a shuffling rearrangement of, I assume, the egg layout. Are there any more satisfying measures of garden success than having a Tawny Frogmouth nest? I await the hatchlings, and yes, of course, I will keep Readers posted.
