Tawny Frogmouths breeding

The first tawny Frogmouths are now incubating eggs.So the field season is now on for me until at least Christmas. That means lots of walking through the woods, checking locations where there have been frogmouths nesting in previous years and always looking out for more in new places.


A male frogmouth sits on his nest, as all males do during the day.



His female sits quietly all day in a nearby tree, they will share the 
incubation during the night, never leaving the eggs unattended.
