Tawny update

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 !

                                                 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.
