Baby Tawny Frogmouth!!

I'm just so happy!

We have had a pair of Tawny Frogmouths hanging around for a couple years now, for quite a while we thought one of them may have passed as we hadn't seen it in ages. Over the weekend I spotted the missing bird and thought it looked like it was sitting on something that could just pass as a nest.

And lo and behold we have a baby!!

I even got a video of the baby pooping out the nest (though it really looks like it laid an egg lol)

That's cool. They are such cute little fluff balls, lucky you.

Wonderful news!

It's very windy at the moment and I can see nests swaying vigorously in the trees. Luckily the tawny frogmouths seem to be doing fine cuddled up to their dad.

Look how big their eyes are!

They grow up so quickly!

Wow, they do grow fast but must agree... cute at all ages. How lucky you are!
