The Tawny Frogmouth

#7 The Tawny Frogmouth
Sept 2012, Lara, Victoria




You beauty. We have never seen one in the wild before, and then we stumbled across this Frogmouth perched on a fence post in nearby Serendip! Frogmouths are as big as Owls, and as stocky as a prop on a rugby field. Their camaflage is their major and only defensive weapon, and we can vouch on it being very effective - Alison still couldn't see it after I pointed it out three times, from only a metre away!
