Was lucky enough to come across two frogmouths while out for a wander through a national park. Quality isn't great as they were very high up in a tree, but I think it's nice to capture these beautiful birds
C&C always welcome.
and a boring old bower bird....

Mark everytime I find some owls they are always in places where it is difficult to photograph them. You have done quite well.
Oh and I agree with Pa, that looks to me like a butcherbird.

looks like a pied butcher bird to me too.
There was a frogmough in my yard the other night, first time I ever saw one around here.
looking back, It may have been after the kittens I presented in another thread.

John: Not a major point but Tawny Frogmouths aren't actually owls but part of the Nightjar family
